👉 Allowance pimples, also known as follicular hyperkeratosis or folliculitis barbae, are small, red, and tender bumps that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the beard line and near mustache areas. They occur when fine hair follicles become irritated or inflamed due to improper shaving techniques, such as using a razor too close to the skin or shaving at an angle that causes the hairs to dig into the skin. This irritation leads to the formation of tiny, plugged hair follicles that become inflamed, resulting in the characteristic pimple-like appearance. These pimples are usually harmless but can be uncomfortable and may require gentle skincare routines or medical intervention to resolve.
