What are Beard Bumps?
|
|
The hair shafts of some people, African-Americans in particular, are curved. This is true of beard hair as well as other body hair. After shaving, especially close shaving, the beard's sharp pointed hair may turn back into the skin. It may pierce the wall of the hair follicle, causing a reaction resulting in bumps. Dermatologists call this condition "pseudofolliculitis barbae."

How are beard bumps treated?
|
- Growing a beard is one solution to this problem. This will cure the condition, but is not always an option. Men with ingrown hairs ("razor bumps") should try different methods of hair removal.
-
Shaving with a special type of safety razor that does not permit a very close shave may help. After applying lather or shaving cream, wait to let the cream soften the beard. Shave only in the direction of the hair growth, not against the stubble. Don't stretch the skin during shaving and don't shave on a daily basis.
- Laser hair removal is the most effective method of treating ingrown hairs and excessive hair growth. Laser hair removal is a permanent reduction in hair growth and has been very successful in treating beard bumps.
