No, but you can get a No-Shave chit if it gets bad. They would have the guys exfoliate and show them how to shave with the least amount of irritation. You have to shave everyday. If it still gets bad (and some guys got BAD) they'll give you a no-shave chit that you have to keep on you at all times. If you don't have it on you and you get called out on it, you'll get in trouble and it usually means more PT for your platoon.

Also, they issue you a razor. You don't get to choose. You also don't get to bring any fancy stuff from home either. You have to use whatever you are issued or whatever they have at the NEX or commissary.
 
If Marine boot camp is anything like Navy boot camp then no. I had some brutal razor bumps. No one cared. It will be the least of your problems.
 
You'll get put on meds for bumps or, if it's really bad, you'll get a no shave chit (as mentioned above). We had a guy in my platoon that had really bad bumps and was on meds for them but the meds didn't do much, he didn't get a no shave chit. Basically, you'll probably have to end up sucking it up and dealing with it for a few weeks/months.
