Razor Bumps

What are razor bumps?

Razor bumps are a common skin condition that primarily occur in people with curly hair as a result of hair being closely shaved or plucked. Symptoms include clusters of small, red, or dark bumps around hair follicles. The surrounding skin is often red and inflamed.

Treatment Options

  • Drugs that contain vitamin A derivatives like retinoic acids or tretinoin and isotretinoin are often useful for the treatment of acne. These come as creams, gels, lotions, and tablets.

  • These work by destroying the acne-causing bacteria, and reducing redness and inflammation. Antibiotics are often combined with other topical agents to achieve optimal results.

  • Nodular and cystic lesions can be treated by injecting a low-dose steroid into the lesion. This therapy can result in rapid improvement of the size, color and pain of the lesion within 24 hours.

  • Laser hair removal will reduce the coarseness of the hair or permanently remove the and providing long-term relief.
