What to do if you get acne after shaving

Everyone has a beard, except for a few people. Most people have to shave. People with good skin can shave smoothly and easily, but people with bad skin have a more troublesome time shaving, often scratching or even bleeding. Some people even say that they will get acne after shaving. Let me provide you with a way to solve this problem.

Acne after shaving is actually a manifestation of folliculitis. Folliculitis is an inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus infecting the hair follicles. Those that occur at the hairline on the back of the neck are called "epidermal sores"; those that occur on the lower jaw are called "goat barbel sores", "barbel sores", "swallow's nest sores"; those that occur between the eyebrows are called "eyebrow sores"; those that occur on the buttocks are called "sitting board sores", etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine has different names for this disease according to the location and shape of the disease, such as large pearly sore, epiphyseal sore, sheep's beard sore, cricket sore, cricket disease, eel arch head, etc. This disease often occurs on the head, neck, buttocks, perianal area or other parts of the body, and has a tendency to recur, often occurring in multiple places, with a stubborn nature and prolonged and difficult to cure.

So, why do I get acne every time I shave?

When a beard encounters a sharp razor, it is easy for it to grow back into the skin, causing painful bumps on the skin. Medically, this condition is called pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly known as "razor bumps." It is one of the common causes of inflammation of the hair follicles in men, and this condition is particularly common among black men. When a curly beard encounters a sharp razor, it is easy for it to grow back into the skin, causing painful bumps on the skin. Once a beard grows into the skin, it will be attacked by the body's own defense system, and the skin will show symptoms of infection.

I also have acne and dry skin. Every time I shave with my hands, there are wounds. Later, I figured out the best way to shave and a few things to note!

1. The manual razor must be fully lubricated. You can do this after taking a shower or washing your face. The heat will soften the beard, so it will be easy to shave after applying shaving foam.

2. You can choose to use an electric shaver. Although electric shavers don’t have the same shaving feeling as manual shavers, they are more convenient and don’t worry about getting hurt. You can also use them anytime and anywhere. As long as you shave carefully, you can get a beautiful shave.

3. Avoid sensitive areas. For example, if you have acne after work, never scrape it with a knife! You can scrape around it first, and then trim the acne area with scissors.

4. Clear visual effect. Sometimes you can't clean every corner if you stand far away from the mirror, so you can stand closer or use a small mirror so that you can see clearly!

5. Pay attention to hygiene and don't use others' razors. Whether it is electric or manual, it is best to use your own razor to ensure hygiene, and you should also pay more attention to cleanliness!

6. Pay attention to the shaving lines. Our beards grow in a certain direction. If you pay attention to the direction, you will shave cleanly and painlessly! If you shave in the opposite direction, it will cause friction and pain, and your skin will turn red!
