About Razor Bumps What are Razor Bumps? Razor bumps are a type of skin irritation specifically caused by shaving. Known scientifically as pseudofolliculitis barbae, razor bumps form from hair follicles that get trapped under layers of skin. The skin condition results in inflammation in the form of raised, red bumps on the skin. While men are more prone to suffering from razor bumps, women also see them appear on their skin. Fortunately, razor bumps can be prevented with proper shaving methods such as using a razor with sharp blades and keeping the skin moisturized and hydrated while shaving.
