They occur when cut hair grows back into the skin and causes inflammation. Small, red and sometimes painful bumps are visible signs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skin rashes after shaving<\/strong>, on the other hand, can have a variety of causes. They are not exclusively due to ingrown hairs and can include symptoms such as redness, itching and scaling. Allergic reactions to shaving products or the friction of the blade on the skin are possible triggers of such rashes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Folliculitis<\/strong> is an inflammation of the hair follicles. Hair follicles are the structures that surround your hair root and anchor it in the skin. This inflammation is usually caused by bacteria or other infectious agents. This causes red, sometimes purulent and painful spots on the skin. And although it is often associated with ingrown hairs and shaving, folliculitis can also occur independently. Unlike ordinary razor bumps, folliculitis sometimes requires medical treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By now knowing the differences and paying attention to our skin&#8217;s signals, we finally understand how to prevent razor bumps and how to treat razor bumps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-3ge7gl-cc8c233692d43f9daa81a07f8ed155c2 main_color avia-section-huge avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_layout_row  el_before_av_section  afteruntenrechts avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6112'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3ve8xo-dcb7e01d6cbb7e189759b2e5d02e63ba av_one_full  avia-builder-el-24  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  nachrechtsmittig first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcl0f6j1-8011ce704bc35a990b3fdb05c10ac643\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lcl0f6j1-8011ce704bc35a990b3fdb05c10ac643{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lcl0f6j1-8011ce704bc35a990b3fdb05c10ac643 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lcl0f6j1-8011ce704bc35a990b3fdb05c10ac643 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lcl0f6j1-8011ce704bc35a990b3fdb05c10ac643 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Causes of razor bumps<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2itdm7-b0284d9586989069d507c3b314ca145f '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth2 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>You&#8217;re probably wondering what exactly is behind those annoying razor bumps. There are several factors that interact here. But let&#8217;s start with the basics: Our hair follicles can become clogged with dead skin cells or excess skin oil (keyword: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/blackheads\/\">blackheads<\/a>). When shaving, the hairs are then cut in such a way that they are pointed and can penetrate the skin more easily. This happens especially if the skin is not sufficiently supple or the blade is not sharp enough.<\/p>\n<p>Then <strong>bacteria<\/strong> and the associated <strong>inflammation<\/strong> come into play. This is because the skin is irritated after shaving and susceptible to bacteria, which can penetrate the small wounds and cause inflammation. The immune system reacts and the red, painful pimples appear. Of course, the choice of <strong>care products<\/strong> is also crucial. Products that irritate or dry out the skin often exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Shaving pimples usually disappear after a short time, but in rare cases skin discoloration remains after the inflammation, similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/?page_id=5924\">acne scars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lojuws7l-83690ab0cc7f3660ee9cf883326d2bd0\">\n.avia-icon-list-container.av-lojuws7l-83690ab0cc7f3660ee9cf883326d2bd0 .iconlist_content{\ncolor:#020202;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-lojuws7l-83690ab0cc7f3660ee9cf883326d2bd0  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  einruck halfwidth2'><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-small av-lojuws7l-83690ab0cc7f3660ee9cf883326d2bd0 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-lojuui3l-64adb3747eb09ae0f7392bab6969985b avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue875' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Razor bumps in the genital area\"><h3 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title_small  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Razor bumps in the genital area<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconlist_content av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The sensitive skin of the genital area is particularly susceptible to razor bumps, and not just because of frequent shaving.

And prevention begins even before shaving. Here are some <strong>tips against razor bumps<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Salicylic acid peels:<\/strong> Exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and speed up the healing of razor bumps.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/fruit-acid-peeling-vienna\/\">Fruit acid peels<\/a>:<\/strong> Fruit acid also helps with your skin&#8217;s natural exfoliation process. Interestingly, a fruit acid treatment reduces the curvature of the hair and thus reduces the risk of the hair penetrating back into the skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Razor:<\/strong> A sharp blade is the be-all and end-all. Blunt blades irritate the skin and encourage the formation of spots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shaving technique:<\/strong> Always shave in the direction of hair growth and avoid going over the same area too often.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beard:<\/strong> Make sure you apply enough foam before shaving so that the blade glides better over the skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aftercare:<\/strong> Rinse the skin with cold water to close the pores quickly. A soothing lotion such as aloe vera can also work wonders and soothe redness and irritation. If you are prone to razor bumps, try products with antiseptic ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Break:<\/strong> If possible, give your skin a break &#8211; this will speed up healing and prevent future razor bumps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laser:<\/strong> If nothing else helps or you&#8217;re tired of dealing with razor bumps, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/permanent-hair-removal-with-laser-in-vienna\/\">laser hair removal<\/a>. This saves you from having to shave regularly and prevents inflammation in the long term. This can work wonders, especially in the case of folliculitis or severe inflammation with pus accumulations in the bikini area and razor bumps on the legs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  id=\"termin_button\"  class='avia-button-wrap av-21lb33-4b313a718295224a96cb2c8538244275-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/online-appointment\/'  class='avia-button av-21lb33-4b313a718295224a96cb2c8538244275 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Arrange appointment\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Arrange appointment<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='faq'  class='avia-section av-l4qtn67q-c80de8e0156a0d1ae9d82ce7d13458a5 main_color avia-section-huge avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-33  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6112'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-iijjx-99887c43f6bcb1822ddd4f096ea4dd1a av_one_full  avia-builder-el-34  el_before_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l4qtnirt-f446d64479898b94f746b0192d36ab22\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l4qtnirt-f446d64479898b94f746b0192d36ab22{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l4qtnirt-f446d64479898b94f746b0192d36ab22 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l4qtnirt-f446d64479898b94f746b0192d36ab22 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l4qtnirt-f446d64479898b94f746b0192d36ab22 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-35  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Any questions?
