Profile picture is now of The Expression.

[–] Thcdenton 10 points 6 months ago

Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wow. You are one ugly lady.

Whatever, bearded lady.

Circus in town?

[–] FlyingSquid 51 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I am an old fashioned guy in his 40s.

[–] chemical_cutthroat 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Splitting the difference, then.

[–] qisope 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have never learned to ride a motorcycle. They scare me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (5 children)

got that "about to have a midlife crisis and learn how to ride a motorcycle" look

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.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 6 months ago

Don't listen to Big pharma just keep picking at it and make an open wound like GOD intended

[–] die444die 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

I‘d use Ketozolin shampoo regularly. This looks like tinea barbea.

[–] teft 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

How is shaving off a reverse Mohawk in your beard making you look more presentable?

[–] FlyingSquid 89 points 6 months ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That style is so last year

[–] FlyingSquid 51 points 6 months ago

Look, I can't keep up with you kids at my age.

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd feel like I was cheating.

[–] Timboflex 44 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ChicoSuave 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

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).

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if my wife would want me attracting anyone, right or wrong.

[–] taiyang 16 points 6 months ago

She into dudes from the 1800s? Profile pic still stands!

It looks like some sort of fungal infection to me. Watch the redness go away within 48 hours, now that that area gets sunlight.

[–] GladiusB 19 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have to admit that that is not at all what I imagined the bottom third of your face to look like.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Neither did my face, but it's used to it.

Looks like you shaved more than hair off.

[–] Siethron 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

At least you have a Chin when you shave.

Some of us, not so lucky.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

I have a couple of em

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Easy solution to this problem: Photoshop it.

[–] ThePantser 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I get that after having a beard and using my CPAP, I think it's pressure sores. I use some dandruff shampoo on my skin and it clears up in about a week.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have dandruff shampoo. I'll try that, thanks.

i haven't shaved in like 3 years.

I'm scared to shave to be frankly honest. I don't want to know what i look like.

[–] kernelle 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Nobody made a Motorhead joke yet? This is Lemmy goddammit!
