What Causes Rashes After A Shave With A Used Cartridge?
OK so about 2wks ago I had shaved. Not too sure if I messed up and didn t use a fresh cartridge BC I rushed. Anyway, all of a sudden when the hair started growing back i had a lil rash in my bikini area. NO BLISTERS, NO BROKEN SKIN. Jus a rash. Ok a week later (last week) I happened to notice a tiny mini lil dot (bump) on my perinium area it looks like a pimple. Stings only if I mess w it... I m scared...

Hello,
You have developed pseudofolliculitis. It is inflammation of the hair follicle because of the regrowth of hair. It is not related to the cartridge.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
