Do you want to grow your beard, but do you get beard rose? No problem. We've All Been There - it's one of the most common problems in beards. And luckily it is really no reason to shave things off again. Read here how this rose is created, what you do about it, and how you can find it on the long track.
What is beard rose?
This rose looks like rose on your scalp. You notice the problem in a few ways. There are white, flat beard flakes in the hair - and the more you brush in it, the more flakes fall out. Often you suffer from an itchy beard, and if you comb the hair aside, you can note that the skin is redder than normal.
How is it caused?
Just like normal rose, rose in your beard is caused by a fungus. Calm, we are not talking about entire mushrooms, but over a microscopic single -cell creature. This fungus, Malassezia Globosa, naturally occurs on everyone's skin and lives there from our sebum (skin oil). In addition, he produces olic acid, an acid for which many people are hypersensitive.
Because of the oil acid, your skin can turn red, itchy and more dead skin cells can be made from flaking. Because you start scratching, your skin becomes even further irritated and also dries out, making the problem worse.
Rose, eczema, dry skin or allergy?
Roos is often confused with dry skin, eczema and contact dermatitis (an allergy). Three problems that have about the same symptoms.
- Many men actually have dry skin when they think it's about rose. A treatment against rose makes dry skin worse. If your rose does not leave or gets worse, try to wash it with less often, use a soft one beard shampoo and you protect your skin with a moisturizer.
- Seborroic eczema is eczema on your face, and therefore often eczema in your beard. This can create flakes in the beard, but also in your eyebrows or other places in your face. Eczema in the beard is not fine and can feel very dry and burning. The cause of Seborroian eczema can vary and therefore a visit to the doctor is recommended.
- Contact dermatitis is a mild allergic reaction to a substance. If you are hypersensitive to certain ingredients in a product for beard care, you can get dermatitis. Changing beard product can then make a big difference. Therefore, never use hair shampoo for your beard - it is full of violent chemicals that can cause hypersensitivity. Use a special beard shampoo instead.
