How To Treat Razor Burn

Razor burn is skin irritation that results from shaving unwanted facial or body hair. It may be caused by frequent shaving, improper techniques, or harsh shaving products. Razor burns are characterized by burning, red bumps and patches of inflamed skin. Other signs of skin damage caused by shaving include itchiness, swelling, tenderness, or a burning sensation. Razor burns affect mostly men because they shave more often, but women also experience skin irritation after shaving. Razor burns can occur on any part of the body that’s shaved, but it occurs mainly on the face for men and around the bikini area for women.
