In this October episode of the Skin of Color Savvy podcast, guest host Prince Adotama, MD, of NYU Grossman School of Medicine, spoke with Yoseph Dalia, MD, MBA, a dual board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine and a committee member of the Skin of Color Society (SOCS), about diagnosing and managing pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), commonly known as razor bumps.
During this conversation, Dalia explained PFB is a chronic inflammatory condition that develops when a hair fails to exit the skin, called a transfollicular pathway, or exits and curls back into it, called an extrafollicular pathway. In both cases, the body mounts a foreign body reaction against the hair shaft.
