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
You need to think less motorcycle and more 19th century president.
So maybe “I just learned how to ride horses in my 40s look?”
ah, so are we talking wright brothers “about to develop the airplane” looking fit?
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
I feel the need to stand up for my fellow sea creatures. That could for sure be a squid.
Who said you could talk, jellyfish?! You insolent little bitch!
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.
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.
Hate to break it to the OP, but keeping myself cleanly shaved has helped a lot with keeping it off the face. I still get it occasionally on my sternum like you.
Me too, but it hides under my beard so it’s not really visible anyway. It does occasionally itch, but not too bad. I like my beard more than I hate the dermatitis.
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.
I love tiny barbarians!
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.
Lemmy, sing to us ace of spades!
I may be on Lemmy, but I could only hope to be Lemmy.
If it helps though, despite it being 4/20, I’m drinking port.
I’ll tell ya the secret sauce. It’s so we can easily filter out people like you in public without having to start a conversation. I like what I like, and don’t give a shit what others find presentable.
Sincerely,
Some dude with non-standard head hair and facial hair.
Wow ya really got me! Good one!
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.
But if these blemishes turn up intermittently in different places, aren’t they a part of you in general? Yes, they might not be in that spot all the time, so “sure it’s fine to remove that because it’s not a permanent part of you” but if it keeps reoccurring, then I would argue that they’re a permanent part of you.
I would still remove it, but simply because clear skin makes you look better. I wouldn’t try to explain this vanity away.
if you don’t look like an utter piece of shit in your profile picture, people won’t be impressed when they meet with you IRL.
Gotta keep up the game.
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.
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 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!
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.
Looks like you shaved more than hair off.
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.
I’ve had good luck controlling it on my scalp with this stuff:
https://www.iherb.com/pr/jason-natural-anti-dandruff-scalp-care-shampoo-12-fl-oz-355-ml/6253
No flare ups in a long time since I started using it
Might give it a try i use one of Heads and Shoulders clinical shampoo with some success but could be way better
Easy solution to this problem: Photoshop it.
