razor bumps
Post-shave skin irritation
Razor bumps are small, inflamed bumps that appear after shaving, caused by hairs curling back into the skin as they regrow.
They're particularly common on the neck and in areas with coarse or curly hair.
The condition is medically called pseudofolliculitis barbae: He switched to an electric razor to avoid razor bumps.
