Casey1991,

While you may well have some PFB, bumps that appear that soon after a shave ARE NOT due to PFB. PFB bumps and pimples require time for the hairs to grow into the skin, and that takes much longer than 5 minutes.

Those bumps that appear do soon after shaving are an indication of some sort of simple irritation. Shaving too close is still high on my list. The Dermatologist should be able to help clear this up (pun intended). Good luck!
