Mine is that whether I shave with stick or not, bumps will still come out. And its worse with stick. I know that bump is caused by ingrowing hair. Now my beard area is very dark compare to my normal complexion. It always look as if I do not shave. Help is welcomed

There are different types of hair.
The straight type- this is common among white folk.
The curved type - common among blacks.
The hooked type- straight with a little hook at the end, common among people with dada hair.

These three hair types abound in the population and are passed on from one generation to the next. Whenever you use a shaving stick to shave, it is designed to clip off the hair strand to as close to the skin as possible. Esp if you use shaving powder to soften and straighten out the hair. Some people shave so smooth that the hair is cut below the skin. When the hair tries to grow out again in a few hours the hooked or curved part bumps against the edge of the pore of the skin it was supposed to grow out of, and then gets stuck. So the hair starts growing back inwards.
This is worse among those with hooked or curved hair.

As it grows inwards it is going to irritate the skin and also trap bacteria which infect the skin as well. So the area now swells and sometimes becomes painful and little pus oozes out. These are the bumps.

If you are prone to this kind of thing,bros, stop shaving. You won't like your skin after a few years especially if you are light complexioned. Use a clipper that doesn't cut as close as a shaving stick. Also avoid using shaving powder, no be by force to use am. Also endeavour to buy your own clippers so someone else who's bumps are infected won't share his bacteria with you.

If i had gotten this info when I started growing facial hairs, things wouldn't have been how it is now. Thanks anyway. But what remedy could be made now? I've tried not to shave for a while yet I was still noticing bumps especially around my chin and jaw. The major issue is that when the inflammation heals, it leaves a blackhead behind which makes it all look as if I have not shaved.

I don't curse. I didn't curse you. I was angry you agreed with someone that was apparently insulting your father by calling him analog.
Check my other posts to see if I am the insulting type.

Anyways apologies if you were hurt.

Buy zinc tablets. Take it daily for one month. Also look for ORIGINAL Shea butter and rub the affected areas. Do not shave too close to the skin during this period. The bumps will disappear. Whatever remains is most likely going to be permanent.

Anybody here to help
I got the after shave bumps now and its 5 days old, I've bought Nivea After Shave Balm. All I want to know is that how will the bumps heal quickly and is there any alternative method of curing it.
