I guess I meant it only happens after tanning. I was out of the sun/beds in the last few mos so I never had a problem. As soon as I started again, it came right back. I think it irritates my skin just in that specific area in the same way as someone w/ rosacea. Dermatologists just say its pseudofoliculitis and of course, "stay out of the sun" -- so not much help from them.

I've tried the mach 3 too but they all seem to do it. The 5 blade is the Gillette fusion which I just like the best bc I get a 5'oclock shadow at noon if I use smaller razors. But, everything except growing a beard causes the problem.

I think I'm just stuck with this. I think beds with more UVB do it worse than UVA beds...but I haven't totally figured it out yet. It could just be the heat.
