Unfortunately, many men experience unsightly bumps on their necks after shaving. And not only are they unattractive. They are itchy, painful, and often sensitive! If you struggle with this uncomfortable problem, there is good news. Here's how you can get rid of razor bumps on the neck.

To get rid of razor bumps on the neck, men can use topical washes or creams to reduce inflammation. Those who suffer from razor bumps, also called barber bumps, can speed healing by letting neck and facial hair grow naturally.

If you’re wondering about how to use over-the-counter remedies to get rid of razor bumps on the neck, read on.

Solutions for Razor Bumps on the Neck

The best solution for razor bumps on the neck is to stop shaving. Shaving leaves behind hairs with sharp tips just under the skin’s surface. As hairs regrow, they can turn and grow into the skin. That results in razor bumps on the neck.  

Razor bumps on the neck appear as raised pimple-like cysts on the skin’s surface. Typically, this happens 2-3 days after shaving the face, chin, or neck. So, what can be done about these bothersome bumps?

Here are some solutions for razor bumps on the neck.

Fortunately, men find products formulated for razor bumps at pharmacies, drug stores, or online retailers. When looking for a cream, lotion, or gel to treat razor bumps, watch for a solution to reduce inflammation, swelling, and discoloration.

How to Stop Getting Razor Bumps on the Neck

Getting rid of razor bumps on the neck is one issue. But perhaps you grew out your beard to finally get rid of them, and now you’re faced with the need to shave again.

The last thing you want is another case of razor bumps. Here are some tips to stop getting razor bumps on the neck. For men who have to shave for personal or professional reasons, the key is to focus on ways to reduce or prevent razor bumps.

Here are three ways to stop getting razor bumps on the neck.

Train the Hair

Dermatologists recommend training unruly hair to grow straight rather than curly. Straightening new hair growth may prevent sharp edges from curling into the skin and causing razor bumps, as hair regrows.

Use a soft bristle brush to train the hair. Stroke the hairs in one direction.

You can find a brush made especially for beards, or use a new soft bristle toothbrush. Consistency is key. Make sure to do this daily to see improvement over time.

Use a Pre-Shave

Many men use after-shave but are you using a pre-shave? Expert doctors recommend using a pre-shave before shaving cream to help protect skin while making shaving a smoother process. Massaging a pre-shave product into the neck and facial hair makes beard hairs lift to the razor. Look for labels with these ingredients.

Use the Right Shave Technique

An important part of preventing razor bumps on the neck is using the right shaving technique. A dermatologist will tell you to avoid shaving against the grain. That is because this method will reduce the risk of razor bumps. On the neck, this can be hard. Usually, hair on the neck grows in multiple different directions. Use a mirror to examine the direction of hair growth before you take a razor to it. After you find how your facial hairs are growing, glide the razor along that direction next time you shave, and you should see a difference.

Summary

In short, you don’t have to suffer from razor bumps on your neck after every shave. Now you know what at-home solutions you can try to get rid of them quickly. Using these tips for shaving and skincare, you can battle these bumps.
