Dealing with psoriasis on the neck and trying to shave without causing flare-ups is a real challenge. I’ve been experimenting with shaving with the grain and using fragrance-free products. What techniques or products have worked for you?
One thing I’ve found helpful is using a safety razor with light pressure—it seems to reduce irritation compared to multi-blade razors. Also, applying a cold compress post-shave has been a game changer for calming my skin. Have you considered trying an alcohol-free post-shave balm? It keeps things hydrated without the sting.
Building on the excellent points about safety razors and cold compresses, I’ve found that pre-shave prep can make a huge difference. Shaving in the shower or after a warm towel wrap softens the hair and reduces tugging, which is especially helpful for sensitive patches. I also swear by a pre-shave oil to create an extra layer of protection—it helps the razor glide more smoothly. If you’re dealing with plaque psoriasis, consider a gentle exfoliating cleanser beforehand to remove scales without irritation. Experimenting with these steps might elevate your shave game!
