I don’t particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.
Wow. You are one ugly lady.
Don’t judge me.
Whatever, bearded lady.
Circus in town?
Would I be in town if it wasn’t?

The long gray beard says “biker in his 60s” but the smooth, (mostly) unblemished skin says “I just learned to drive.”
Also if this is shortly after shaving, it might just be razor burn. It’s clearly been a while so your skin might just be angry and not used to blades.
I am an old fashioned guy in his 40s.
Skin issues aside, if this is for a profile pic it should be trivial to remove the discoloration in the pic.
Silver lining and all that.
I’d feel like I was cheating.
Lean all in, wear an old civil war uniform (ideally Union but if you want some of that southern strange you could go Confederate) and work on your thousand mile stare. It’s like peacocking!
It’ll attract someone. (But I won’t be held responsible for the type of someone).
I don’t know if my wife would want me attracting anyone, right or wrong.
She into dudes from the 1800s? Profile pic still stands!
Ooh yeah, if it goes all the way up he could make a wicked general Burnside.
i’ve been told i’d look good in old war attire.
I’m not sure how i feel about it, but at least im not the only one LMAO.
I have to admit that that is not at all what I imagined the bottom third of your face to look like.
Neither did my face, but it’s used to it.
I seem to recall there was a kids’ game with faces split in three, and you could spin to make different ones with different parts? Don’t they have those on plastic barrels at some playgrounds?
You should find one of those playgrounds, print this picture out, and stick it on one of the plastic barrels.
I used to have a book like that!
If you use to have lot of flake it might be seborrheic dermatitis it’s mostly give a lot of weird yellow flake but if i shave the skin under the flake look like that
Yeah I get this too if my beard grows for more than a couple days. Also the back of my scalp if my hair gets really long.
It looks like some sort of fungal infection to me. Watch the redness go away within 48 hours, now that that area gets sunlight.
Looks like you shaved more than hair off.
I have had a beard for years and shaved it awhile ago. Same thing. Goes away in a few days in the sun for me.
At least you have a Chin when you shave.
Some of us, not so lucky.
I have a couple of em
i haven’t shaved in like 3 years.
I’m scared to shave to be frankly honest. I don’t want to know what i look like.
Easy solution to this problem: Photoshop it.
Hopefully it’s going to be okay. It could be staph infection or cellulitis going on.
Hopefully it’s just really bad razor burn, but it could be anything. I’m in poor health right now for non-skin related reasons, but it could definitely have an effect there. We’ll have to see.
Either way, it annoyed me that I went from “I’ll make myself look presentable” to “well, so much for that idea” just because I did the thing you’re supposed to do in order to look more presentable.
A beard is perfectly presentable so long as it is trimmed and tidy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Mine looked pretty awful.
It’s all in the way you trim and neaten it imo. When people let their beards run wild, it tends to not look that great. But if you keep it trimmed neatly, even if it’s long, it can look pretty nice!
Staph and strep infections are more common than you think, they live on healthy human skin after all, and usually no sign to be alarmed. Whenever you get a pustule or redness, it’s probably staph.
Warning signs to watch out for are intense itchiness, affected skin feeling very different to the touch (usually rough or leathery), browning or rapidly growing red patches and a stinging, pulsating pain.
I had a really bad strep infection in my leg in 2023, caused by an infectious a wound that I repeatedly scratched due to itching, and it hurt so much that even just moving the leg into an upright position would cause pain that made me see stars. I have before/after pics from my leg at that time if you want.
Cellulitis usually causes swelling
Source: had cellulitis from jumping into rocks in the James river. Was admitted to the hospital twice and was released on 9/11 because they thought the hospital would be inundated with victims of the pentagon attack
I’ve gotten that as well. I have had success using rubbing alcohol on those spots. Also helps to use an alcohol aftershave.
That depends on your skin type and the cause of the blemish. Test it on your arm first before slathering it straight on to your face.
Once I started keeping pure isopropyl alcohol (99.9%) around the house to use in several hobbies, I quickly gained some deep respect for it’s magical properties and it’s ability to dry anything it touches. Diluted or not, I don’t look at the stuff the same way anymore.
(Also of note, rubbing alcohol is isopropyl and aftershave is typically ethanol.)
The Phillip OneBlade is especially good if your skin is sensitive to razors. It doesn’t give a “razor clean” shave, but that’s the point.
