Pseudofolliculitis barbae is just a fancy name for the acne-like breakouts commonly called "shaving bumps." As hairs begin to grow back after shaving, waxing or plucking, they get trapped inside the follicle and cause irritation and swelling. Not everyone gets shaving bumps; people with curly hair are more susceptible, but anyone can take steps to prevent them. If you can, use an electric razor. If you prefer blade shaving, use a new, single-edge blade every time you shave. Prep the area with warm water and use a rich shaving cream. Always shave with the grain, not against it. Then, after you're done, apply a mild toner or antibacterial gel. Get more information on shaving.
And when your workout is finished, wash the products off as soon as possible, especially if you’ll be going into a steam room or sauna where your pores will be opening up more.
Adapalene comes as a gel, a solution (liquid), and a cream to apply to the skin. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Apply adapalene exactly as directed.
Acne is a condition that is not caused by poor hygiene; however, it can worsen with poor hygiene. So, whether one decides to use modern treatments like laser or more gentle techniques like natural healing, one must still take care. Acne treatment guidelines for good hygiene should help to heal and promote good skin health.
