I've gotten that as well. I have had success using rubbing alcohol on those spots. Also helps to use an alcohol aftershave.

Hopefully it's going to be okay. It could be staph infection or cellulitis going on.

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 used to get something similar under my beard/mustache. I'll use a tiny bit of this shampoo periodically and it controls it quite well (assuming it's fungal). Head and Shoulders might work too. https://a.co/d/2nMo1nH

Some other people said dandruff shampoo. I have some Selsun Blue in the cabinet I might try. Thanks.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

I get beardruff sometimes too but it's usually bc my skin's dry and dandruff shampoo just dries it out further. Try moisturizing your face more regularly with cream or aloe or the like. If I let my beard get long it's more difficult to moisturize properly and I'll sometimes have patches like that when I shave. Usually clears up in a day though after some aloe.

It looks like you missed a couple spots shaving...

[-] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

This is one of the reasons humans have to evolve past hair and become completely smooth. Fucking facial and body hair, I swear...

Body hair has it's uses. Keeping you from getting a cold (micro clima) and preventing skin irritations.

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.

I wish my beard grew that long, but it never wants to, I'm a little envious. You might benefit from one of those heated beard brushes that smooth out the hair. I got one but my beard refuses to grow in long enough for it to matter.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 4 points 8 months ago

Lots of shampoo recommendations but some sunlight will help, too. When you wash your face, dry it well.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Why did you stop there?

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah I bought one of those professional hair shavers to cut down because of this.. Going full on with a safety is not fun

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Thankfully, the dandruff shampoo advice seems to have worked.

Dribble some whiskey on it, clears it right up.
