    Acne after shaving is usually caused by folliculitis, allergies, acne, etc.

    1. Folliculitis

    After shaving, bacterial infection of the hair follicles can also cause acne and pain, which can be treated with hot compresses.

    2. Allergy

    If you use some chemicals when shaving, you may experience acne if you develop allergies. Consult a doctor and use loratadine tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine dispersible tablets and other drugs.

    3. Acne

    Acne may also appear after shaving, which is a chronic disease. Use erythromycin ointment, fusidic acid cream, and mupirocin ointment under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above reasons, it may be infection, so go to the hospital for examination.
