My PFB problem.

Hello,

I am Lee and i suffer from PFB.

It does my head in so much so that i wish sometimes that i could chop my head off!!!.

My neck is the main problem, so much so that i get hairs groing back under the skin so that i get red blemishes/ razor bumps.

I have used a product PRB which has worked a tad but i have found that when i shave i have to submerge my face in very hot water to make the hair soft.

I then shave in gentle downward strokes so that i do not shave too close (which makes the hairs grow back inwards under the skin).

No matter what i do i still get in-groing hairs. My skin seems really dry and i have started drinking more water and eating oranges (to make my skin better) but i still get ingroing hair.

The hairs that grow back under the skin i have to pick out with a thin pin which makes my neck red and blotchy!. I am careful when shaving and find i have to use my wifes foundation make up to rid my neck of any redness.

Anyone out there who can help with any tips or solutions to make my skin softer?.

what is your current shaving routine? what products do you use on your face?

I soak my face for 5 minutes+ in very warm water.

I use shaving gel for sensitive skin.

I then shave in downwards strokes going down the grain.

When i have finished i dry my face and flick over with an electric razor.

why are you using an electric razor afterwards? that might be irritating your skin. are you shaving against the grain? are you using shaving gel (not cream)?

As above but not irritating with the lekki razor.
