Why won't my razor bumps go away with ketoconazole cream?
Patient's Query
I have this razor bumps that has refused to go I ve used ketoconazole cream but still no results
Answered by Dr. Anju Methil
Razor bumps can appear after you shave, and are tender bumps with inflammation. The prescription of ketoconazole cream is the ideal choice but it is not guaranteed to completely solve the problem of razor bumps. To further improve razor bumps, a gentle exfoliating scrub can be applied to remove the dead skin cells and thus prevent the hairs from getting trapped. It is important to hydrate the shaving area thoroughly after the procedure. If the skin rashes become even more intense, visit a dermatologist for assistance.

At times, ingrown hairs cause little red bumps which can be annoying. I know that ketoconazole cream works great for some skin problems but I’m not sure if it would help with razor bumps. Maybe try using a mild exfoliating scrub to get rid of these pesky little bumps. Do not shave over them until they have cleared up! You might want to see a dermatologist who can give you some tailored advice if this doesn’t work.

Razor bumps are such little red spots that they can appear suddenly after shaving. The ketoconazole cream is quite a good starting point, but it can sometimes not be strong enough. These bumps are caused by the hair curling back into the skin which creates an irritation. For others, a dermatologist's visit might help them with a stronger treatment.

Razor bumps, also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, develop when the hairs curl back into the skin after shaving, causing redness and bumps to appear. You might want to use a warm compress to soften the skin first, then gently exfoliate to help the hairs grow out correctly. You should avoid shaving for a while to let the skin heal. If it does not get better, go to a dermatologist for further treatment.
