    Oh my goodness, Dr. Dray! So I am a 2nd year med student studying for my STEP 1 that's in a few weeks. I came across your channel while procrastinating a few days ago and thought "pseudofolliculitis barbae" was an interesting term and it stayed with me along with your description of it. While taking an NBME practice exam today I got a question about an African American man with itchy bumps on his chin, cheeks, and neck and what the most likely diagnosis was. The answer was pseudofolliculitis barbae! I was so happy that I chose your video to procrastinate with! Thanks for all the great info!

      I know this is an old comment but if you see this; wait until the end of a hot shower to shave. Use a thick moisturizing shave cream I like Aveeno and a clean sharp razor with multiple blades(not one or two blades) shave downwards don’t shave against the skin. After shaving and every few days use an exfoliating body wash or cleanser on the area. You can also soak a washcloth in hot water and lay it over the area before and after shaving. Most important thing for me was the razor. I use a Gillette Venus five blade and never have this problem anymore.

    I love how thorough, medically accurate and easy to understand your content is! I have a question - which seems a common one. **Here's "TMI" but not really. I shaved my pubix area for 15+ years. About a year after I stopped shaving, I started getting abscesses. Once a year or so on avg. I only trim with beard trimmers every month now. Quite a few have had to be lanced and drained. How do I help prevent these? One doc said use dial soap before and after shaving (but I no longer shaved!).. Another said it's common due to sweat, bacteria and the nature of that area. What's safe to exfoliate down there? What to cleanse the inner folds of labia? Halp! Sorry for the long winded comment!

    This is really good information. I'm a mid-40s medium brown skin toned African American male who has had issues with razor bumps and hyper pigmentation. I've visited several dermatologists (looking for a quick fix I guess) but didn't take it really seriously until the past few months as it seemed like it was getting significantly worse. I guess I kind of sort of knew what to do but never did it consistently. Here's my 2 cents on what I have been doing the past few months to get it better (and I have had good results) but your results may vary and everything is different for everyone :
    Washing my face- I generally use La Roche-Posay foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin. this was recommended by a dermatologist. It's expensive but 1 bottle lasts a long time. Previously I used Vanicream cleansing bar which I liked and I still have a bar to carry with me when I travel, I just liked the LRP foam cleanser better. I also use Dickinson Witch Hazel Face Toner after washing
    Shaving- Dare I say I wouldn't necessarily trust a study funded by Gillette that says it doesn't matter if it's single blade or multi blade when they sell tons of expensive multi blades😂 I haven't done any research studies but anecdotally, I have seen improvement by going to a single blade (ironically, using the King C Gillette Double Edged Safety Razor). I replace the blade every time and wipe it down with alcohol before and after use. It actually gives me a good clean shave. With that being said, those multi blades are designed well and do their job. The problem with multi blades is for African Americans and other darker skin people, it does the job a little too well because the hair is cut so close, it then grows under the skin or has pus like pimple looking infection. So I avoided those, plus the safety razor blades are cheaper. I also use Proraso pre shave cream conditioner and Aveeno shaving cream as well as Proraso after shave. It's worked for me and I plan on sticking to this routine for the long haul
    Sunscreen- I use CeraVe suncreen which I seem to tolerate and it doesn't clog up my pores
    Medical stuff- A dermatologist prescribed a topical 1% Clindamycin lotion to use in the morning and then a retinoid/steroid/hydraquinone cream to use at night.
    Also, I use Nizoral pre-shampoo and shampoo to wash my hair. I noticed it has reduced flaking to near zero very quickly. I shampoo every 5 days or so
    Like I said, everyone is different but this routine has helped me a lot.

    Oh yeah...I once tried to remove the peach fuzz on my face with wax. Worked very well...but when I woke up the next day the sides of my face were covered in dozens of tiny 'pimples'. Not fun. Lukily they went away pretty much on their own within two days. Careful shaving is definitely the way to go on the face. Thanks for the tip about desinfecing the razor...I never thought to do that!

    I sometimes get ingrown hairs in...well, let's just call it the "swimsuit area"...even though I don't shave or wax. Something that has worked very well, is a solution called Tend Skin. The ingredients are: Isopropyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Diglycerin, and Polysorbate 80, (which I presume is a preservative.) I just put some on a cotton ball and wipe the specific area once a day, and it's much happier in 2-3 days, with no irritation.

    Hi Dr. Dray! Thank you so much for your video. I dermaplaned my skin at home about 2 months ago now. I did it completely wrong, without knowing how invasive this procedure can be.
    After a week of doing it, a whole bunch of tiny bumps appeared on my face. I had no idea what happened - so I just decided to keep my skincare routine simple to see if that worked. After a month, I finally went to see a doctor as the bumps weren’t going away. I was prescribed ‘Acnatac’ with clindamycin and tretinoin. I have been using it for nearly 3 weeks now. The bumps are still covered over my cheeks, although the redness has gone down. I am still concerned that this product may not help my skin, but hoping as I continue to use it, my skin will clear. I’m concerned I might actually have ‘fungal acne’ compared to a bacterial infection - but I have no idea.
    I also think I am currently purging atm…. Anyone have any tips?? My skin has certainly impacted on my confidence.

    I just stumbled upon your channel last night, and I have been obsessively watching all of your videos! Your content is wonderful! I used to get really bad ingrown hairs from shaving my face, and after I started using an unscented pre-shave oil and a fragrance free shave gel simultaneously, I don't get ingrown hairs anymore. A lot of pre-shave oils unfortunately have menthol, alcohol, or other irritating ingredients, so it's hard to find a good one.

      My mom had severe psoriasis on her scalp and she used this medication called Oxypore. I know it was a prescription topical solution that was dark brown. I hope you've found relief by now but if you are still struggling with it and haven't tried that maybe it would help.

    Pilots (at least the ones who work for FedEx) cannot have a beard period. As part of their job they are required to wear oxygen masks if they are the only pilot at the controls (in case of a sudden depressurization event , I think). Beards/facial hair prevents the mask from forming a tight seal.

    Hi dr dray!! Glad I found your video. I have been searching for tips on how to avoid ingrown hairs but most of it is from "beauty experts", so happy to get a professional's opinion! Some of them did recommend the products you listed but they also recommended to use a body scrub. Are scrubs at all helpful? Is there any way to even out pigmentation in the bikini area?
    Also I have been dealing with ingrown hairs/ irritation from shaving on the bikini and upper thigh area since I first started shaving back in middle school. I generally only shave once a month, always use a clean razor, and use lotion everyday yet I still get irritation. What bothers me more than anything is I get extremely and uncomfortably itching with in a few hours of shaving despite prepping the skin, moisturizing, and taking long ( even months ) breaks from shaving. Is this something I should see a dermatologist about?

      @@lailakhan6 I switched to waxing. although it's more expensive and not recommended from most of the research I did. It worked for me. I also use chemical exfoliator wipes daily. It took a few months to get full results. But honestly can't remember the last time I had any irritation. I barely notice the regrowth vs before it was extreme discomfort. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • @ac9231
    @ac9231 6 років тому +1

    I bought stridex pads, Paula’s Choice BHA and AHA lotions, as well as the Cerave SA lotion for this reason (KP too). However, I believe you mentioned somewhere that leave on chemical exfoliants such as these aren’t the best and that it’s much better to use a cleanser with the appropriate active ingredient. So my question is: do you recommend the use of any of these products (since I already have them) for ingrowns on the legs (my biggest problem) or would the better option be to do a medicated wash followed by a great moisturizer? Additionally, I was prescribed a 2.5% hydrocortisone cream for mild seborrheic dermatitis on my face, could I use this on my inflamed ingrowns? If so, how often? And would an over the counter lower percentage work well once this 2.5% runs out? I hope you’re able to answer all these concerns! Thank you!

    • @DrDrayzday
      @DrDrayzday  6 років тому

    Is willow bark in a facial cleanser the same as saliciylic acid? It is listed about 3/4 of the way down on ingredient list. In using Differin gel and noticed after watching several of your videos I should not combine a saliciyic wash at night with the Differin....

    Thank you for the great information. Just having gone thru this (still going thru) with husband, I have a couple of questions. His was on his legs and arms (I'm talking 150 bandaids). Would that be connected to the face shaving? Seems to be scarring but the RentinA and all the other meds have helped. CeraVe has a salicylic face wash--would you recommend that as well? It's been so disfiguring!

    • @DrDrayzday

    I have ingrown hairs in my scalp because I buzz cut my scalp for years. It's true, I feel relieved when I buzz cutting my hair if I let the hair grows for two days I feel a thousand bees sting on my scalp. My dermatology thinks it is seborreic dermatitis. I took a mirrow, and only saw red pimples and hairs stick to my scalp. That's make me depressed and sleepless because is painful, and itching. I have to resist at let my hair grown. I'm an african descendant . When I was young I had a pilonidal cist 3 times.

    My leg hair on my shins does not create a bump, but the hair grows straight just under the first layer of skin. This is annoying as I can't get a close shave, and then shaving can irritate the area further. Is this just shaving irritation or a type of ingrown hair? WHat type of exfoliation prior to shaving can help?
