I used to have the same problem and was told that it is from irritating sensitive skin, I tried using a different razor and that works for me. If that doesn't work waxing should work.Pimples and red spots after shaving?
Signs of razor burn. I think the pimples are appearing because the follicle is clogged and the hair is ingrown.





Body hair - try Nair or other hair removing creams.





Facial hair - Please don't shave facial hair it tends to grow in thicker and makes the follicle larger, which allows more bacteria to enter.


Try facial threading that is offered at some salons/spas


or try waxing, although some people with sensitive skin my end up with red patches.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae, the medical name for razor bumps, is an inflammatory reaction surrounding ingrown hairs that results from shaving. This problem occurs more frequently in people who have curly hair.





Razor bumps are created when the growing beard hairs exit the skin, curl over, and grow into the adjacent skin. This creates a foreign-body reaction resulting in an unsightly bump.

My fiance gets there all the time, he has found that investing in a good razor helps, but it isn't a perfect solution.





Waxing your entire beard area would be painful, and could cause bumps, red patches, and if not done properly scars.





You can try getting your beard threaded. They use two strings and pluck out the hairs, but they can do large sweeping areas with great percision. (not at all like tweezing). But this is a painful method of hair removal, but the results are awesome.





I live in Turkey, and here it costs about what equals $25 for the whole beard. My fiance got it done in the US once, and it was around $40.
