A member asked:

How can you stop getting acne from shaving?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is it acne?: There's a folliculitis syndrome that affects the beard, especially a teen's new beard, that is easily mistaken for acne. If you really have acne, just get decent medical treatment (benzoyl peroxide and if needed a physician's rx) and you can shave fine.
