I am dark skinned, and most often when i shave i get pimples. How can i shave without getting pimples?

Answer 1

If your race classification would be termed "Negroid" then you likely have the very tightly curled hair, and when you shave closely, the hair is more likely to cause folliculitis. The term for this is "folliculitis barba". Military personnel who have this problem are even allowed to not shave, as there is little else that really solves the problem.

I would imagine that there may be some antibiotic creams that a dermatologist may be aware of, if you are determined to maintain the "clean-shaven" look.
