This is a common skin infection that develops in the hair follicles. Razor Bumps can appear anywhere on the skin, except for our palms and soles. Other common areas for ingrown hairs are the armpits, pubic area, and legs. An ingrown hair occurs when shaved or tweezed hair grows back into the skin. It can cause inflammation, pain, and tiny bumps in the area. It’s most prevalent in black men who shave facial hair. But ingrown hair can affect anyone who removes hair by shaving, tweezing, or waxing. You can avoid ingrown hair by not removing hair. If that’s not an option, you can use hair removal methods that lessen the risk of developing ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal has helped much in treating this problem since laser induces delayed hair growth, re-growing hair is thinner, and some hair follicles are lost permanently.
