This is a good question. The real thing to find out here is whether or not he had a true allergic reaction. Was the skin very red and irritated (painful?) or was it very itchy and broke out in hives? Hives is a red rash that is somewhat raised with little papules, and extremely itchy.
If it is the first option (burn and painful) it is probably from shaving. This is also known as razor burn, and a good thick emollient cream like Eucerin or Aquaphor can help take away the irritation. It comes because of inflammation in the skin.
If it is the second option (raised, itchy rash), it is likely to be an allergic reaction. For this, Benadryl is very good at relieving the symptoms, but it can make him drowsy. If he plans to drive or anything like that, he should avoid it. But, other antihistamines will also help, and might not make him as drowsy. Loratidine is an over-the-counter antihistamine that doesn't make people quite as drowsy.
Good luck getting it better.
either shaving burn or take benydril
If it is localized like your friends problem it must be some contact problem.
