Question 1

Accepted Answer

No, not true: Cutting hairs or shaving hairs does not change the rate of the hair growth. Hairs do not know that they have been cut.

Question 2

YEs: This virus clings to everything especially hairs. Either wash your beard a few times a day and spray with alcohol or shave off.

Bacteria on skin.: Folliculitis is fairly common from shaving especially areas that are not accustomed to the trauma.

Question 4

i'm treating two warts each on two different fingers/hand. today i shaved my beard like normal. can the warts spread to face? the bandaids were soaked

Accepted Answer

Yes: Warts are caused by a virus, and the virus is spread by contact. However, you should know that contact with does not guarantee it will spread, but that is the method by which it occurs. I suggest you see a physician for definitive wart treatment.

Question 5

retin a micro 1% works wonders no pimples when using it. but when i shave and my beard begins re growing tretinoin causes pimples or inflamed follicle?

Accepted Answer

Psuedofolliculitis: Sounds like "psudoefolliculitis barbae," or a form of razor bumps. Try applying some Hydrocortisone cream 1% to your beard area the night before you plan to shave. You likely have sensitive skin contributing to the condition, this will help. You might also need to apply another layer of HC cream after your shave, or a good aftershave lotion. Use this only on days that you shave, not every day.

Question 6

i have acne. i also have a beard. my skin is oily. i use beard wash twice a week. i'm planning to visit a dermatologist. do i have to shave my beard?

Accepted Answer

No: If you need isotretinoin, don't hesitate. I am sorry that your acne has not yet been gotten under control, and I am glad you are making this move now.

Question 7

i just shaved my mustache and beard and under my mustache i found a smooth red looks like a rash. not sure what it is and how to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Red rash????: Does it hurt or is it itchy? How long been there? Could be contact dermatitis or fungal skin infection. Both are treated different. So see ur MD to make right diagnosis and then right treatment.

Question 8

how to convince my daddy to let me shave his "beard" for him!?

Accepted Answer

If your father: does not want you to shave his beard - I would respect that boundary.

Question 9

my age is 21.my beard is vry hard.i m nt able 2 use trimmer so i alwys hve 2 shave nd even aftr shaving i don't get clean shave.suggest tips 2 soften it?

Accepted Answer

Shaving Tips.: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is &gt; several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented.  Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.

Question 10

is there a "normal" rate at which my beard and mustache should grow, from when freshly shaven?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whatever speed it grows for you is normal for you.  It's like how much chest hair you have, or how thick your facial hair happens to be in the first place. Life's difficult enough without worrying about this kind of thing or looking for pathology where there is none.
