Treatments for razor bumps include benzoyl peroxide products, toners and even prescription-strength medications from your dermatologist. In this video, dermatologist Jeanine Downie, MD, discusses some remedies and why you shouldn't pick razor bumps.
In terms of treatments for razor bumps with over the counter products you can look for benzoyl peroxides, a lot of people just think toner or Witch Hazel does it and it doesn't necessarily. Don't pick at the razor bumps at all and if they get bad seek the help of a board certified dermatologist.
We can do laser and we can write you topical antibiotic prescriptions and maybe even topical pimple prescriptions because sometimes razor bumps behave like pimples it depends on how much you need.
