BUMPS BUMPS which is known as Pseudofolliculities barbae (PFB) is a common problem for people of colour including African, Caribbean, Afro American and Hispanics. This problem is where the hair curves back into the skin due to the thick curly nature of the hair. This problem causes itching and tiny bumps that could later develop into big bumps making the problem worse and cause unsightly darkening of the skin. CAUSES OF BUMPS Research has shown that the most common cause of bumps can be attributed to the use of infected and un-sterilized blades, clippers, bad and blunt clipper blades. Generally bumps are formed through inflammation of the hair follicle caused by any of the under listed factors: Shortly after a hair cut or close shave the hair begins to grow, it curls back into the skin where it bores a hole.

First of all the Negro skin is tailored to suit it's environment.our climate is harsh and our sun isn't so friendly especially during the dry season.   What makes 'black' skin black?the answer to that is melanin.melanin is produced by our  skin to protect us from the uv rays of the sun.the melanin secretion varies from person to person as determined by our genes. The reason we get darker when we stay under the sun longer than usual is because our skin produces more melanin to protect us then.so we end up getting a "tan"   So the big question is this why would yu want to kill what protects you from having skin cancer as a result of the uv from our sun? It should also be noted that one can get lighter significantly lighter by just avoidi...
