TLDR The man had persistent itchy bumps on his cheeks and neck despite trying different shaving products.
A 45-year-old African American man experienced itchy bumps on his cheeks and neck for several months, despite trying various razors and shaving creams. The bumps were identified as firm, hyperpigmented papules and pustules, primarily on his neck and lower cheeks. This condition is consistent with pseudofolliculitis barbae, a common issue among individuals with curly hair who shave regularly.
