Men get them, too, on their face, particularly men of African descent. She said the only thing to do was to exfoliate the area often, and try to shave *with* the growth instead of against it. I use the Silk Effects razor to minimize bleeding, but of course that razor is hard to clean and dulls easily. I've seen, in the African-American skin care sections of the drug stores in my area, a special razor called the "bump fighter." I've never used it, but I wonder if it helps at all. Oh, wait, I just remembered, there is also a commercially available product that some people swear by: Tend Skin. I've never tried it, but I've talked to people who said it really worked for them.
