Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), also known as razor bumps, is a common condition where shaved hairs grow back into the skin, causing inflammation, bumps, and irritation. It’s especially common in individuals with coarse or curly hair.
After shaving, hair tips can curve back into the skin instead of growing out, leading to ingrown hairs, redness, and painful bumps. Frequent shaving or using dull razors can worsen the condition.
To reduce flare-ups or prevent PFB:
Common signs of PFB include:
Treatment focuses on calming inflammation, preventing infection, and improving shaving habits. Options include:
Topical antibiotics or corticosteroids to reduce bumps and swelling
Retinoids to exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs
Antibacterial washes or benzoyl peroxide
Shaving technique guidance and preventive care tips
Medical documentation (e.g., No Shave Letter) if required
If left untreated, PFB can:
Lead to scarring, keloids, or skin discoloration
Cause chronic pain or discomfort
Result in frequent infections or worsening breakouts
Require long-term dermatologic intervention
