Razor bumps itch, burn, can cause scarring and shaving virtually impossible. Many blacks have resorted to depilatory creams which seem to work better than knives. However, some depilatories, if not used correctly, may irritate the skin.
Some creams are able to help for some time, but sooner or later side effects for long term use catch up.

Both sexes suffer from ingrown hairs. But people tend to undergo much as coarseness, or thickness of the hair follicles on the face and neck. Ingrown hair build after the hair cut or otherwise removed below the skin surface. As hair grows, it curls over inside the follicle and does not make it to the surface. The result is unsightly, "bump" on the skin.
Several razor wounds are at the growing hair follicles and leaves bend back toward the skin surface. When these sharp, shaved edges of coarse hair until the skin surface, the cushion back into the skin producing puffy, pimple like a wound occurs.
