Razor bump issues09/24/2009 |
I have a problem with shaving. I have ingrown hairs and bad irritation due to sensitive skin. I wanted to know of a product or products that would help me with these problems that I am experiencing. I use magic shave, but that doesn`t help me at all.
There are a couple of prescriptions that would lessen this. They are mainly anti-inflammatory/anti-microbial preparations, such as Clindamycin solution or Erythromycin solution. There are others and your physician can write you a prescription. Some also resort to laser hair removal treatments to decrease the need to shave. This works in a certain percentage of patients and would require multiple treatments which can be expensive.
