“Noticed this rash after shaving?”

Seems like your skin is sensitive and your follicles get irritated after shaving. You can use an antiseptic liquid before and after shaving. For a long term treatment consult a dermatologist

Hi,  Shaving can sometimes induce a folliculitis, meaning irritation of the hair follicle. This is a possibility although I can't make a definitive diagnosis from the photo. Certainly if the condition persists or recurs, a visit to your local dermatologist is prudent.
