Hi, Pimples appearing after shaving can either be allergic reaction or foci of folliculitis. If you upload a good quality picture, that can help me in differentiating the two. You have a feature to upload the reports/image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better. Allergic pimples will be filled with clear fluid or no fluid at all. This need not any treatment if asymptotic and will resolve its own in a few days. Anyhow, an antihistamine like levocetirizine and steroid creams will speed up recovery. Pimples from folliculitis are usually filled with yellowish fluid/pus. If this is not associated with pain/surrounding edema/redness, this just needs draining the pus with a clean needle and applying antibiotics creams (like mupirocin or povidone-iodine). Otherwise, we will need an oral antibiotic too, for which your doctor will guide you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ivan R.
