Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 What are razor bumps?
Psuedofolliculitis barbae, also known as PFB, is the medical term associated with the problems involving razor bumps. The condition, although highly prevalent amongst African-American males with curly hair, it is not necessarily an African-American problem only. Anyone with the propensity for curly hair can be prone to experience the condition. Simply put, as the hair is created in a curved or bent follicle, it is formed in an ovoid pattern creating a somewhat coarser hair that exits the skin at an angle and when cut on an angle bevels the hair into a needlepoint making re-entry into the skin easier. When that hair re-enters the skin a bump is formed, with subsequent inflammation and possibly even infection.

How does Bump Stopper Razor Bump Treatment work?

1. Bump Stopper Razor Bump Treatment works by gently exfoliating or casting away the skin surrounding the bump, thus exposing the ingrown hair.
2. Bump Stopper Razor Bump Treatment neutralizes any inflammation or infection.
3. Bump Stopper Razor Bump Treatment minimizes the coarse structure of the hair, thereby making re-entry back into the skin much more difficult.

Only Bump Stopper Razor Bump Treatment uses this threefold approach to successfully treat your razor bump condition.
