How do you remove acne/razor bump scars?

[sinistersouth]

What products do you use to remove, not so much acne - my facial regimen works well for that - but razor bump scars? i'm talking years of scarring. you can barely see the lineup of my facial hair because of so much scarring

I had a lot of issues with this because of sensitive skin. After shaving, natural Tea Tree oil works well for inflammation, then I would use a small amount of retinoid gel called Differin to help even out the discoloring from the scars/bumps. I started that a year ago and it completely got rid of the bumps and the discoloration over time.


EDIT: as a lot of the other brehs said, using clippers instead of a shaving razor is also a big help. Shaving too close is a cause of a lot of the issues we face when it comes to this. During the “healing” process I used a set of clippers and now I just keep a low beard to further keep from irritating the skin too much.

Lemon, let it sit on your face for awhile. This breaks up, returns your skin to it's normal color.

Aloe Vera and Cocoa butter keep the skin from scarring up/getting irrated.

Do you shave with a razor? If so, that may be the problem. I have sensitive skin, so I can't use razors only use andis clippers for a close shave.

don't use razors. try using a hair clipper instead.

Had that happen myself. After trying a few Expensive tea tree oils from natural stores and they did nothing. But this one I got from Walmart that worked no problem.

What products are you using? I used to get razor bumps/burn and managed to clear most of it up

I use

1. Barbasol for sensitive skin (orange can)
2. Four blade razor (This made a big different from a two blade i was using before)
3. An Alum block!!!!! (use this as an aftershave instead of liquid lotions. The block has astringent properties to help the minor cuts on your face. It also stings in places where you are pressing too hard, thus cutting your skin.)
4. Light oil free moisturizer. ( I live CeraVe products.)

Also, you might need to add and exfoliater and toner to your regime

i did but not anymore. i've always got bumps no matter what i used even clippers. i just now figured out how to shave with my clippers though. i used to run that shyt all over my face with zero-gapped blades . now i know not to let the cutting blade touch the skin and to press against the skin with the guide blade and a light touch. that and this little dandy here:

once at night and once in the morning to break up the bullshyt. no more bumps

but i still have discoloration which i don't think will go away on it's own. the whole lower half of my face and neck are several shades darker with just sparse stubble so it's not a shadow, it's just scarring. i need that gone, i'm too pretty for that shyt

Honestly, this why I don't ever take my shyt down to skin no more. No matter what I try I get bumps.

I got my regiment tho, might not work for no one else.. but anyways, I use clippers only. The day of the cut I spray some alcohol on. Make sure the area is clean and dry, not oily. After the cut, alcohol again, warm rag face wash, and coconut oil.

This greatly reduced the bumps. Still tho, it ain't perfect. I only cut my hair down once a week max, and line it up a few times between to stay fresh.

I don't actually like having a beard, shyt has its own problems, but keeping it at zero is far worse. Just keep your shyt low and lined up.
