Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a condition which is characterised by the occurrence of small red or black bumps on the skin, redness, inflammation, pus-filled bumps, mild pain, itching and visible small hair on the bump. This medical condition is commonly known as ingrown hair. Though sometimes slight pain or inflammation is caused, but this problem does not cause intense pain or serious problems. The only major problem you might face can be embarrassment due to the protuberance of ugly hair.
This usually happens after shaving or by using unsafe and harsh hair removal techniques or by wearing tight clothes. This condition is common in both the genders. People having coarse and curly hair have more chances of developing this condition. The phenomenon that leads to this condition is when a sharp tipped object such as a razor cuts the hair short, leaving it edgy and prickly, which forces it to curl back into the skin. This happens when the hair doesn't grow back through your skin surface in a straight pattern, it may grow sideways or grow back into the surface of the skin causing a bump.
Treating this problem
Depilatory creams for ingrown hair removal can be a short term method to keep them away but for long term, you may choose an electrolysis process, which is the removal of ingrown hair through a laser. It is always better to opt for ingrown hair removal creams as they are relatively less expensive and safe. Skin Doctors' Ingrow Go, a topical cream does that for you. When you apply it, a slight pressure is developed under your skin which tightens the hair follicles and then forces the ingrown hair to grow outwards, eliminating the redness or rashes. It also soothes your skin and opens up the pores on your skin surface which will prevent further occurrence of ingrown hair.
Apart from preventing and treating this problem, Ingrow Go will also exfoliate your skin, removing the dead cells which block your pores. Some precautions should be taken before applying this cream and it is advised you read the application instructions before applying it.
