Pseudofolliculitis barbi otherwise called razor bump is a chronic condition affecting mostly black males who shave. Some men shave due to the fact that their profession demands that they do. Men who generally suffer from razor bumps normally have curved hair follicles which produces curly hair. The curve follicles and curly hair are generally the cause of razor bumps. Individuals with stiff curly hair also have the tendency for the tips of their hairs to penetrate and grow back into the skin just before they exit the follicle. Trapped hair generally leads to inflammatory pus-filled lesions, which result in sometimes itchy, burning and painful condition.

- Strict hygiene should be adhere to when shaving
