Why am the only one in my family to get folliculitis from shaving? , and they just get temporary razor bumps from shaving

Hyperpigmentation: If it's lasting long, it may be hyperpigmentation from folliculitis/ingrown hairs. When you shave, be sure to use shaving cream, only shave in the direction of hair growth, so you don't cut them so short (less risk of ingrown hairs.) Also, exfoliate well on non-shave days to help prevent. If it persists or happens often talk with your doctor about a topical antibiotic ointment to treat it.
