Welcome to Pseudofolliculitis Barbae

What is Pseudofolliculitis Barbae?

Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB) also known razor bumps, barber’s itch, razor burn, shave bumps, and bikini bumps, is a condition that occurs after shaving, where ingrown hairs cause extreme scaring. After shaving, curly hairs tend to curl back into the skin instead of exiting the follicle causing inflammation of the shaved area.

The disease is dominant amongst African Americans and other races with curly hair. PFB is high amongst military service members, as they are often “encouraged” to shave prematurely.  PFB is most common on the male face, but it will also occur on other parts of the body where hair is shaved or plucked.

Well, if you’re like me and suffer from PFB, then I recommend that you immediately cease shaving the immediate area.  Totally avoid shaving for three to four weeks until the infected area starts to clear, unless you’re in the Military then you need to get an Military Shaving Profile.
