Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become inflamed, often due to ingrown hairs. It commonly affects individuals with curly or coarse hair, particularly after shaving. The condition can lead to red, itchy bumps on the skin, resembling acne, and may cause discomfort. This condition is often seen in areas where hair is frequently shaved, such as the face and neck. Treatment options include proper shaving techniques, using electric razors, and applying topical medications to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. In some cases, laser hair removal may be considered for long-term relief.
