Safety boundary

Timing can guide aftercare, but the tool cannot diagnose folliculitis, infection or another skin condition.

Worked example

What this looks like in real life

Burning within minutes of shaving after several blade passes is a different pattern from itchy bumps appearing two days later around regrowing hairs.

Timing helps choose a routine change, but pus, spreading redness or severe pain moves the problem out of ordinary self-care.

What the tool cannot tell you

Cannot distinguish every follicular condition by appearance.

Do not shave repeatedly over inflamed skin to 'see if it improves'.

Persistent scarring or recurrent painful bumps deserve assessment.
