Razor burn. : May be 'razor burn'. It is characterized by mild to moderate redness and irritation on the surface of the skin. It is transient and there is no infection involved.Pseudofolliculitis barbae (pfb) causes persistent irritation caused by shaving.Pfb can make the skin look itchy and red, and in some cases, it can even look like pimples. Use electric razor.
