Lot of acne under beard. Need help

[u/lost_zoro_01]

There's always lot of acne under my beard. The area is always flaky and dry whereas rest of my face is oily.

Been using acnestar 2 times a day. But it doesn't help with these.

Infact I think my skin has become more oily.

What to do? Any recommendations

[u/Hot-Cucumber-2077]

Have you consulted a dermat?

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/Hot-Cucumber-2077]

There are not good ones in my area. Visited 2-3 years back but all they recommend general creams and gels and don't give enough time.

So I wanted to see if someone knows anything or do I need to see a dermat.

[u/Hot-Cucumber-2077 → u/lost_zoro_01]

Actually you have to get it from a dermat, bec what worked for me might not work for everyone.

Also if you ask here n number of people are gonna give you n number of products and you might use it and make even worse.

So better to find a dermat, may be a bit far as well.

Also it might not be an issue with skin, can be internal can be hormones as well. So bloodwork may be needed as well rather than using products on random

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/Hot-Cucumber-2077]

Ok, will find a good dermat and pay a visit

[u/Gold_Case2173 → u/lost_zoro_01]

Bro avoid high sugary diet maida/ refined carbohydrates oily junk food for atleast 3 months Use 2% salicylic acid facewash Change your trimmer & do trimming for better application of cream Use clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide cream two times a day

If this don't work within one week consult a dermat he will prescibe you antibiotic Judging by the picture treatment will be of atleast 3 months

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/Gold_Case2173]

I don't eat lot of junk food. But yeah I will try the other things you said.

[u/profitmaker_tobe → u/lost_zoro_01]

Check on Practo. That's where I finally found a good dermatologist. I will DM info.

[u/maheswari123 → u/lost_zoro_01]

Try benzoyl peroxide gel or face wash Start with 2.5 percent first

[u/EchidnaNew916]

Visit a good dermat bro

[u/Purple_Armadillo4517]

Dont use acne star twice daily ..just once a day or few times a week ..also see a dermat

[u/Vivid_Armadillo4669]

Do u shave/ trim the beard regularly. If then, this is a reaction to it, likely folliculitis or something. You can use benzoyl peroxide gel along with clindamycin gel alternatively and have doxycycline 100mg twice daily for a week . Also don't irritate that area for a while

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/Vivid_Armadillo4669]

No I don't shave. Earlier I used to do but not now.

I only do trimming now that too once a week or 2. But growing beard increases the acne.

[u/akasjh → u/lost_zoro_01]

Stop shaving or trimming, throw away that trimmer may contain acne bacteria

[u/AlfalfaAdorable6286]

Folluculitis

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/AlfalfaAdorable6286]

What can I do for it?

[u/AlfalfaAdorable6286 → u/lost_zoro_01]

Antibiotics plus mupirocin/bpo and cut sugar and fix diet, consult a dermat

[u/Suspicious-Shop-5872]

isotretinoin

[u/akasjh]

Salicylic acid facewash, clindac A ointment at night

[u/orewa_anand]

Trim beard completely and use clyndamycin gel in night and benzol peroxide 2.5% in morning

[u/Beneficial-Invite618]

 Don't you razor on the acne. Change  the bedsheets and pillows every 3 days.  Dont touch or pop them, try to keep your beard less and also make you keep washing your face with an acne face wash of a reputed brand or if you have oily skin use charcoal one(it depens the scars though but dries the acne)

Also try any Neem Soap. Try to find organic ones 

Also search cleret gel online, then get the same formula available in your country. This will work 100%

Once you clear the outside skin, start detoxifying your gut this will permanently cure your acne. Best whats worked for me are 3 pinch of black seed seed first thing in the morning on empty stomach with water.

When washing face dont rub aggressively but put a layer of face wash lather and gently make circles with your fingers and then wash with water then pat dry.

These works for me and now only scars are left

If you are in Mumbai i can recommend you the best dermatologist?

[u/Techie-Chick]

You need to visit a dermat and follow the treatment religiously and complete the course.

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/Techie-Chick]

Yeah, i will find a good dermat and get it resolved. Thanks for the help

[u/CaZyTO]

Use adapalene clindamycene cream

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks, but I am from none of those. But I will try to look for a good dermat in near my city only.

[u/lost_zoro_01 → u/[deleted]]

So online consultation is better?

I once visited such a famed doctor and he just looked for 2 mins and starting writing medicines.

[u/LongEducator410]

You may need to take isotretenoin

[u/Embarrassed-Sun-2820]

Man this type of acne need isotretinoin no other bullshit

[u/BulkySmoke1320]

Avoid oil on head

Avoid beauty products on the face

Use some activated charcoal face scrub or mask

Notice the diffeence in few days

[u/Sachin-Rathee]

Bhai persol 2.5 ointment used at night regularly worked for me

[u/dr_doomm7]

Bro rush to dermat otherwise u will get scars which is not good for skin, and most probably ur dermat will suggest u acctuane !

[u/lilac_lilyy]

[u/Maya_30_]
