Folliculitis: You may have folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicle as well as razor burn. This may require topical steroids to treat the itch, burn and inflammation, as well as an oral /and or topical antibiotics. Get yourself evaluated by a board certified dermatologist to get the correct treatment.

Razor burn: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving. >
