I'm two weeks into growing a round beard (goatee and moustache). My chin was feeling very uncomfortable for the first week or so, that has started to pass but my skin, under the hair, is extremely red and feels like there are dozens of hard spots or lumps. Does anyone know what they are, please and how I might get rid of them? The rest of my skin under the new growth feels and looks fine. Thanks.
I had irritation when I grew out my goatee and the struggle was real for about a month. There are a few reasons why you have the irritation. I suggest searching growing a beard and skin irritation. It could be Folliculitis or just something simple like dry skin. Look for a good beard wash and beard oil. It helped me ALOT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've sported a mustache in the past, and had a year with a beard. But I never felt as comfortable as when I'm clean shaven. My advice (sorry if i sound a bit like a wisenhimer). A good shave should solve all those issues.
There definitely is a point in beard growth where the person either has to shave or fight through. I wore a full beard (cheeks and neckline outlined) for like 7-8 years, and wasn't uncomfortable, though like you, I now prefer the full daily shave. The 5-10 days each year I skip now feel weird, though it's simply a matter of perspective and ritual.
It’s hair. Use soap and some conditioner on it and it will soften up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
It happened to me during different times when I grew a beard, having to itch it and having red skin underneath, butt I have sensitive skin When I made the switch from washing my face with body wash to natural soap, it didn't feel as bad. And for the past year, no problems........
