Learn How to Fight Pseudofolliculitis Barbae: Shaving Bumps & Ingrown Hairs
| Razor burn, razor rash, ingrown hairs and shaving bumps are all symptoms of a larger problem. Pseudofolliculitis Barbae is a common skin condition for many. Louis Beale, author of Learn How to Fight Psuedofolliculitis Barbae: Shaving Bumps and Ingrown Hairs, from AuthorHouse (www.authorhouse.com) has a step by step system to help fight the problem and manage your suffering. With the help of a man he named Joel; Beale put together an innovative informational guide to fight this condition more effectively. Pseudofolliculitis is caused when a hair follicle does not break the skin and then imbeds itself back into its source or the hair re-embeds after breaking the skin and causes an irritation. The skin becomes inflamed and bumpy and prone to infection. If you continue to shave over the infected area, you can cause bleeding and scarring. This condition is most common in men of color, but it can also be found in lighter-complexioned men and in women, especially those with curly hair. Some of the common treatments of the past, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, have been to let the beard grow, avoid shaving for 3-4 weeks, use an electric shaver, avoid repetitive strokes, use a chemical process to be rid of the hair, electrolysis, or have the hair removed by laser. Joel tried each of these treatments with no success. "Before Joel discovered the BeaSarc Facial Care System of fighting pseudofoliculitis barbae shaving bumps/ingrown hairs, he would shave once or twice a week with a depilatory and hope that he would not have any ingrown hairs or shaving bumps," said Beale. "Again, Joel was not successful. Yet, he persevered and he still continued to try just about everything on the market to not have pseudofolliculitis barbae." Beale provided a list of items that are needed to use the system. He suggested starting with a full beard and giving your face time to breathe and heal a little from the irritation. He proceeded step by step through the process, citing the importance of stimulating the hair follicles before shaving and the use of an over the counter product to aid in the treatment of pseudofolliculitis. The BeaSarc System is a twice daily regimen that was designed to aid in the fight against this condition. There are many instruments to use in the BeaSarc system. Beale provided a comprehensive guide to the use of each item, its benefits and also warnings about the consequences of misuse. Beale and Joel pointed out that your skin is very sensitive and needs to be cared for very carefully. They asked that you remember to treat your skin with as much care as you would a significant other or any precious commodity. Take care with the instruments and do not force the removal of any stubborn ingrown hairs by digging with the instruments as any infection can cause more difficulties. "Occasionally, you will get a hair that does not want to come out," said Beale. "Go on to another one, and then come back to that one. The bump on your face is there because a hair has developed inside of it and has not made its way through the final layers of the epidermis/skin - pseudofolliculitis barbae. Once the hair is removed, the bump should eventually go down. Remember your face is full of blood vessels and nerves, and can bruise and damage easily if it is not cared for properly. If a hair cannot easily be removed, do not persist with digging to extract the hair. If you do, this will cause you to bleed and damage your skin. Infected areas without proper care can result in infections and could potentially cause more pseudofolliculitis barbae shaving bumps, ingrown hairs." |
