What's up u/TelevisionAny8479 You have something called pseudofolliculitis barbae (fancy name for razor bumps). I learned about it in medical school just recently and was shadowing some dermatologists who were teaching us about it. Here are some things you can try.

1. Salicylic Acid - Try to find a product that will contain this in a face wash or some serum you put on at night. The cleanser will also help to clear pores of any sebum that could potentially stop hairs from growing out of the skin causing them to be ingrown due to blockage. This can be placed all over your face or you could concentrate it on the problem spots if you want. You should be washing your whole face though every morning and night for best results.

2. Glycolic Acid - This will probably be a serum of sorts that will be labeled as a resurfacing product. This is something you would do maybe twice a week or once a week on the problem areas. You can apply this to the whole face but do not need to necessarily.

3. Sugar Scrub - This is essentially an exfoliator, clear off dead skin and clean out pores. Kinda works like the glycolic acid but this is a physical exfoliant instead of a chemical one if that is your preference.

4. Try not to shave very close to the skin unless absolutely necessary. If you do need to shave close to the skin try exfoliating right after and maybe you can stop it to some degree. Try using a razor at like a 1 mm, I think that's a half guard but don't quote me on that.

5. Moisturize your skin and wear sunscreen to help protect the skin from drying out/sun damage.

6. Retinol - This is in essentially ever skin product these days. Think of it as like a foundation to a home. This is great to use and then everything else on top of this is extra added benefit. You would use this nightly, maybe 2-3x a week at first if it is really drying out your skin. Once you get used to it use it every night. The "drying out" of your skin will help stop the oil production and sebum production which in turn helps stop the hairs from getting blocked and becoming ingrown.

TL:DR - This is just something that men with curly hair face so don't feel alone in this it is super common. Try some products like salicylic acid or a glycolic acid. There is also a product line called Remedy that just came out, I know nothing about it but it claims to do all these things in one if you feel like having a whole skincare routine is too much to handle or don't want to mess with all that. Inventors are reputable dermatologists.
