Question: 1 / 400

Which condition describes razor bumps?

Sycosis vulgaris

Razor bumps are more commonly known as pseudofolliculitis barbae. This condition occurs when shaved hairs grow back into the skin, causing inflammation and irritation. Sycosis vulgaris and folliculitus barbae are not terms used to describe razor bumps. Sycosis vulgaris is a chronic folliculitis of the beard area, while folliculitus barbae refers to a bacterial infection of the hair follicles. Hypertrichosis, on the other hand, is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth on areas of the body where hair normally only grows lightly, and it is not related to razor bumps.
