Hair follicle bumps, often called "razor bumps", are a common skin condition caused by inflammation of hair follicles. They look like small, red, or white bumps that can be itchy or painful.
Hair follicle bumps are common in people who shave, pluck, or wax their hair. Avoid shaving against the grain of hair growth and keep shaving tools clean to help prevent their formation. Since these bumps can block hair growth, they can lead to ingrown hairs and other skin issues. Hair follicle bumps have been affecting people for centuries.
