Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Chances Of Getting Staph Infection By Using Shaving Razors?
I shaved my eyebrows over 2 weeks ago with one of my used razors that I use on my legs. Since then, they have been itchy. Within the last week, they itchiness has become worse and there are painful bumps as well. I may be freaking myself out but am worried it may be a staph infection. What do you think? Also, the bumps are not like pimples, they have no white or black head.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, chances of infection is very likely and it can be treated with antibiotic and best would be "Tab Amoxicillin 500 mg" three times in day, local application of steroid can be used, and best would be "Beclomethasone" and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
