I don't particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.
DISCO, BABY
Profile picture is now of The Expression.
Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain.
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.
Splitting the difference, then.
got that "just learned to ride a motorcycle in my 40s" look
I have never learned to ride a motorcycle. They scare me.
got that "about to have a midlife crisis and learn how to ride a motorcycle" look
Ur not a flying squid u fucking liar
Maybe he just has a human head on a flying squid's body 🤷🏻♂️
you can tell just from a chin pic? you havent even seen 98% of the rest of the body
Seborrheic dermatitis. Cortisone cream to treat. I've had some luck with pyrithione zinc (active ingredient in most dandruff shampoos) soap to keep it from coming back.
Don't listen to Big pharma just keep picking at it and make an open wound like GOD intended
I have this and it is exactly how mine looks too. It also clears up generally within a couple of days after I shave. I also get it on my scalp and on my sternum, which I think is common with it.
I‘d use Ketozolin shampoo regularly. This looks like tinea barbea.
Definitely some form of fungal skin infection. If the ketoconazol shampoo doesn't work talk to a skin doctor for some anitfungal pills. It'll clear up in a few weeks.
How is shaving off a reverse Mohawk in your beard making you look more presentable?
Because I like this look?
That style is so last year
Look, I can't keep up with you kids at my age.
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.
Nah. You're not photoshopping a six pack on yourself. You're just removing a temporary mark that isn't part of your regular look. It's making the photo more representative of your true every day appearance.
I can see it that way, but I still don't think it would feel right to me to do it. I'd rather have people see my flaws and if this is some long-lasting thing, if it's there in a couple of days, I'll use it in the profile picture.
That level of honesty is noble but unwarranted. It's a profile pic that is supposed to be a "here's my general appearance" and that's just a temporary blemish. If it becomes a part of your personality, take another picture. It will give you time to adjust to whatever the skin is going to do.
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!
It looks like some sort of fungal infection to me. Watch the redness go away within 48 hours, now that that area gets sunlight.
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.
I have to admit that that is not at all what I imagined the bottom third of your face to look like.
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
Looks like you shaved more than hair off.
At least you have a Chin when you shave.
Some of us, not so lucky.
I have a couple of em
Easy solution to this problem: Photoshop it.
I get that after having a beard and using my CPAP, I think it's pressure sores. I use some dandruff shampoo on my skin and it clears up in about a week.
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.
