Ingrown hairs

Answer 5

These will appear because the skin is exfoliating faster than the hair has a chance to grow to the surface of the follicle

Causes:
waxing - hair becomes weak and gets stuck under skin as it regenerates itself

Hair is very coarse & curly

Treatments:
daily exfoliation with body mitt or brush

Glycolic cream to slough off dead skin cells

Question 6

Razor bumps

(Aka: pseudofolliculitis barbae)

Answer 6

Occur on faces of men with curly hair

Beard hairs curl as they grow & eventually burrow into skin adjacent to the hair follicle

Shaving sharpens the hair ends making it easier to penetrate skin

Razor bumps itch & burn

Tendskin may provide relief
