Folliculitis or inflamed hair folliclesFollicle development Follicle stimulating hormone Follicle stimulating hormone-ganirilex Fsh Hair follicle Hair follicle anatomy Hair follicle sebaceous gland in the chin may be due to repeated tiny cuts caused by the razor on the skin which often creates small openings. This allows bacteria to enter the skin and invade the deeper hair follicles. Additionally, excessively close shaving may cause trapping of small hairs beneath the skin surface, causing more inflammation. Try to stop shaving with a razor for a few days to a few weeks and use antibacterial washes and topical antibiotics. Pseudofolliculitis barbae, on the other hand, is a very common ingrown hair condition on the beard area of men that presents with groups of red bumps on the beard area that may flare with repeat shaving. Other treatment options include professional laser hair removal, electrolysis, electric razors, or cream depilatories.
I've never shaved my chin since the hairs never really come to the surface. I do pull the hair with tweezers once they are outside of my skin or the bump, since that's what's causing the pain originally. Thanks for the advice though. I may have to take a trip to the dermatologist.
