Pimples after I shave

2025-09-07 18:53:00
Whenever I clean shave or even trim my beard with a trimmer, I tend to get really big pimples/boils on my jawline and neck. I get this regardless of if I get my beard shaved by a barber or if I personally shave my beard. What could be the reason? They're painful and leave dark marks on my face. Attaching a photo here.
