Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become inflamed, often due to ingrown hairs. It typically affects individuals with curly or coarse hair, particularly after shaving. Symptoms include red, itchy bumps and sometimes pus-filled lesions, usually found on the face and neck.
To prevent Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, individuals can adopt proper shaving techniques, such as using a sharp razor and shaving in the direction of hair growth. Other treatments may include topical medications to reduce inflammation and prevent infection, as well as alternative hair removal methods like trimming or using electric razors.
