Avatar m tn I've have dry flaky skin under my beard and eyebrows pretty much all the the time. I apply moisterizer after my showers and in the mornings before work...to no effect. It doesnt itch or burn...just flaky and embarrasing because i look like i've been eating glazed donuts or soemthing. I drink plenty of water daily and i take multivitamins as well. not sure why i mention that but if that informations helps. Is there any suggestions as to what i can to do solve this problem?
Avatar m tn I was told by my dermo that I had Seborrheic dermatitis. It was dry itchy and scaly under my beard, in the nose folds, ears and eyebrows. I was given desonate gel to use for 2 weeks and things calmed down. However now I just have a redness itchy forehead. I put moisture cream o it and it doesnt really help. Is this still donsidered Seborrheic dermatitis? And would the desonate gel still be the right rx to use?
Avatar f tn The rash started on the right side of my neck and quickly spread to the centre then to the left side it is red and pimply in some spots, felt like there was something under the skin in another spot some spots, it was very tender,itchy and inflamed, and would get very irritated from colar of coveralls rubbing on it at work, i let my beard grow out for a week and though it was going away but when i shaved it irritatated it and now its just like it was before and looks a little bumpy..
Avatar n tn I've read countless times that coconut oil is a simple cure for dry, flaky skin. I'm wondering if it's safe to use on my face, under my beard. My skin can get so dry that I can peel off big clumps under my beard, causing bleeding. It looks nasty and feels unclean. It's been this way for about seven years, though I've had a beard for about ten.
Avatar n tn I picked at a pimple scab under my beard on the right side of my chin repeatedly, and subsequently an infection occurred which is a growth and swelling under the skin with slight visible protrusion of the area. It is sore to press or squeeze my face there and the skin under my beard there has a purplish and reddish color in a local area at about the middle of the swelled area. It scabs, and pusses and lets a little blood here and there.
Avatar m tn I have had a beard for over 15 years. Recently I developed a severely red itchy rash on my chin and face. So I shaved my beard off and treated the rash with moisturizer and in two days it was gone. It stayed gone for about a week until my beard started filling back in, Then the rash came back just as bad as before. Once again I shaved and moisturized and in two days it was gone again, A week later its back. Am I doomed to be clean shaven.
Avatar n tn I started getting spots on my chin about 2 years ago, around the age of 30, and my doctor prescribed Duac Once Gel. The gel seemed to work (although it did make my skin dry). However, for the past year or so I have been developing a strange rash on my forehead which seems to come and go. The rash isn't itchy at all. It is like raised bumps all over my forehead and the skin appears greasy. The bums are generally skin coloured, not red.
Avatar f tn My husband has large itchy, flaky skin on his scalp and in his beard and mustache. It flakes in large yellow chunks that tend to be quite thick and if scratched off will often bleed. It is embarassing as he has large yucky flakes falling out all the time. He has tried prescription shampoos which worked for a couple months only. Now he uses a different kind of shampoo and conditioner every time he washes his hair which helps a bit but not much. Also have used different oils, etc.
Avatar f tn Sounds like he needs to see a dr to see if he has some kind of staph infection in his blood, that is causing the pimples/boils.
Avatar m tn If you are NOT circumsized, then you should definitely clean yourself every day and especially under the foreskin. If you are circumsized, you can let it go for a couple days here and there and shouldn't have any major problems... I keep myself shaved down there... Not with a razor blade, but with a portable razor like someone would use to trim a beard. That keeps the general smell down because hair traps sweat and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, etc.
Avatar f tn He developed folliculitis. The folliculitis is now cleared up and the hair on his beard is very patchy. The skin under the hair seems to be lighter than the skin that has no hair. Is this b/c the skin without hair is still healing and will blend in eventually or is it going to stay this way. Also, this was the first treatment. Will hair grow back in these spots that have no hair.
Avatar n tn Hi! I cut my beard and noticed under my beard a large spot with different pigmentation...so after I shaved completely I've seen spots around it. Couple of days later, it got worse. Skin is a little bit darker and spots go little bit around the neck with the big one still in the middle of my neck (where adam's apple is). What could it mean? I've read diabetes, cancer etc., but I would like to hear opinions because I'm unable to go to the doctor for the next couple of weeks...
Avatar n tn there are two patchy injection under my chin area. it started out as a dime size. i have one about dime size and another about 1inch in diameter, they are sort of round shaped. there is no irritation, no redness no flakiness, no itchy rash rashes it simply bald area, smooth, i touch it i can feel little white hair. the day i shave i can see very light red rash i m not sure if it happen because i shave.
Avatar m tn The rash itself is cocentrated on my jawline, somewhat like a beard would be. It is red, scaly, iritated, mildly itchy. Absent are zit-like pimples, whiteheads and so on. I am intersted in your input. I have done independent reseach. Looks like a facial yeast infection, however; I would like to know other ideas. I have been to an allergenist. Nothing worthy of mention. I am slated to see the dermatologist the end of this month. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I have had an ongoing problem with my skin when I use IV methamphetamine. The sites have been there since before the meth came into the picture, lumps with pressure beneath, but once the meth was added a whole new beast emerged and the sites became agitated and painful and itchy, and when I itch them the skin breaks and out comes a thick, slimy blood cluster, that when properly rolled and excess blood removed, is a tiny tube like strand, resembling a tiny worm.
Avatar n tn My husband gets red flacky skin around his nose and beard. What would cause that, and is there anything I can get to stop it.
Avatar n tn A few days back i noticed a lump under my beard and think its due to a blocked sweat gland, its not really painful although was a bit after i spent a day prodding it!! my question is are these more common with people gorwing beards?
Avatar f tn I heard the babies skin can be really delicate , so should I have her father shave his beard since I don't want her getting a rash?
Avatar m tn Hello, Such an itchy rash which appears and disappears is due to hives skin. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort. For the itching antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin can be taken.
Avatar n tn its growth direction was more tangent to the skin surface... only use an electical BEARD shaver to super supertrim my beard, I still dont use a knife, but I dont really need to , it looks good, gone to interviews with it...no problem... I have done 5 wax jobs of my beard (neck+cheaks) over the last 3 years and havent done ANY wax job the last year orso...no need to...the hairs are very very soft compared to when I started,..also every next wax job was easier as the hairs were weaker...
Avatar n tn I used the mustache and beard coloring gel from Just For Men and it has caused a bad skin rash. My face is now swollen and itchy. Do you think this maybe permenant and what can I do to treat it? I have no medical insurance so I am unable to see a physician. Thank you in advance.
Avatar n tn In the lower middler jaw, besides large red razor bump spots there were 2 masses under skin they would move if pushed around. They did not hurt that bad but get inflammed at times and have had them for a long time off and on, hair stopped growing over them.
Avatar f tn I am a 45 YR old black male. I have dyed my beard for many months. I shave the beard after much recent irritation. To my surprise my skin looks like alligator skin, wrinkly and shiny. It is also easily irritated. Can I restore my skins texture now, and how do I do it since I will no longer be dying it ever. Quite obvious I have damaged skin by chemical burn of dye. Please help.
Avatar n tn The skin under my right eye is dry, burning, and a little swollen. The skin also appears to be dark and is occasionally itchy. Any suggestions?
