Pseudofolliculitis Barbae:

  • Is seen more commonly in men with curly, thick hair – especially Southern Europeans and Africans
  • Is aggravated by shaving, especially shaving close to the skin
    • The hair may find it difficult to find the opening of the follicle to the skin’s surface, when it starts to re-grow
    • The growing hair may then curl under the upper surface of the skin and become ingrown
    • As the hair grows deeper into the skin it produces irritation and inflammation
    • Sometimes infection and scarring may develop
    • Rarely keloids (thick scars) may occur
  • May also occur when hairs are removed from the follicle by:
    • Waxing
    • Tweezing
    • Plucking
    • Sugaring
    • Threading
  • Occurs most commonly on the neck but may occur in other areas where the hair is removed such as:
    • Back of the Neck
    • Bikini Area
    • Underarms

  • Stop shaving or waxing
    • Although often impractical, if one can stop shaving, the problem will often improve significantly
  • Topical antibiotic solutions, creams, and alpha hydroxy acid creams can be helpful
  • Shaving in the direction that the hair is growing on the face will help
    • This results in a less close shave
  • The only long-term solution for this condition is is Diode Laser Hair Removal
