I'm pretty sure it's the shaving. Ever since I started manually shaving I've been getting more pimples around my cheeks and chin. And sometimes it cuts them and bleeds a tiny bit. I'm really pissed off and have no idea what to do.

I use my cleanser and a sensitive skin shaver. I'm fed up with the whole shaving thing. Should I just use an electric shaver OR get it lasered off? would it hurt to laser the hairs?

Shaving and the hair growing back can cause an infection to form in the pore easier, thus making you break out.

What I personally do to avoid this, is only shave my upper lip/mustache area, and then use a beard trimmer for the rest. I use the "Schick quattro titanium trimmer" they are only like 15$ and I find it does the job fine, leaves a little bit of stubble, but that's much easier to look at then breakout on my neck!

Hope this helps (:

Is it a guaranteed that I will breakout if I stop shaving? or just a possibility?

I think you would breakout less if you stopped using a manual shaver, it's usually pretty easy to tell if it's the shaving breaking you out.. cause the infected area is where the hair follicle is growing back in.

I think a trimmer is your best bet! aha
