having bumps can present as mild skin irritation to more extreme acne like breakouts and raised scars (pseudofolliculitis)
👉🏻For mild cases
1. Prevention with weekly exfoliation (I prefer chemical over physical)
2. Regular use of BPO cleanser
3. Moisturizing and/or using hydrocortisone cream to soothe skin immediately after are helpful
👉🏻For more severe cases where firm raised bumps/scars have developed, see a derm!
1. Topical retinoids may help reduce the bumps, along with oral antibiotics and intralesional steroid injections
2. Would consider other methods of hair removal that are less traumatic.
👉🏻Make sure to shave in the direction of hair growth. Use shaving cream and razors with sharp blades, ideally single-bladed or electric razor. Try to avoid shaving same area more than twice
