Huh



This is for you know who

Anyway, all constructive criticism welcome. The ficking thing drives me crazy. Any cure

Skin cream?

















(Ahhhhhh!! No offense! Don't hurt me!)

If you're referring to the apparent rash on your upper cheek, and it's persistent, it could be fungal. (Hard to evaluate in a pic)

I got the exact same thing, in the same place, during a camping trip one time. I suspect shaving lets the fungus get under the skin.

Off-the-shelf cream cleared it up for me, marked for "ringworm." It's really not a worm, just the common name, and several types of fungal skin infections are treatable with it. A pharmacist might be able to dispense an even stronger concentration over-the-counter without a doctor's prescription.

Otherwise see a doctor. BTW, I see nothing butt-ugly in that pic.

Ok, I should have gone into more detail. Red, that is a scar, nothing to worry about there. It's the goatee that drives me crazy. I'm constantly scratching. It irritates my face.

It was the goatee that I'm looking for opinions on, but all criticism is welcome.

And your dame right, there is nothing butt-ugly in that pic. Thanks Red

Damn, you got me to admit I once had ringworm...

As for the goatee, I also sometimes have a beard & mustache. I keep mine a little longer, but not much, because I also hate the scratchiness if it's very short.

That's about all I can suggest, since a man's beard is gonna be coarse when that short. I think you'd look fine without the goatee, but I know that's still a popular style for guys, and it looks good on you. It might need a little shaping on the right side.

No offence taking, and I don't hurt people

yeah i don't like logos on my shirts either....

Well since it bothers you then shave it off. Your profile pic of you (clean-shaven) in the white shirt is very flattering.

silverfox1 saidyeah i don't like logos on my shirts either....

Just ignore the shirt

So what was the scar caused from? It just looks like a rug burn.

muchmorethanmuscle saidSo what was the scar caused from? It just looks like a rug burn.

Skin cancer. It's a skin graft. I never kept it moisturised enough, but I do now, and it has improved alot.

Oh my gosh! Sorry you went through that. I should show you the ugly ass scar I have on my face from cancer. They had to drill a hole in my head (I thought I had plenty of these already) to access cranial fluid and left the nastiest meanest looking scar on my forehead.

I used to try and hide all the time as I can do so by wearing a hat. But these days I say, "Oh fuck it, who fucking cares?" I get people staring at it all the time and I'm self conscious but someday I'll have a plastic surgeon fix it.

I'll take a picture of it and post it here later tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned for the hideousness of what cancer leaves behind.

Hey MikePhil,

Thanks for sharing about the skin cancer - I just had a carcinoma removed from my face yesterday-they rushed me in ahead of others at the specialist - wow it hurts, and there's another beside it for the next visit. They tell me they will likely have to go deeper on the first one if pathology shows cancer cells at the edges of what they removed, and if it's something other than basal carcinoma. It's been a pretty rough week.

PS what's nerve-racking is I've been complaining to Docs for over a year about it and happened to go to a walk-in clinic a couple of weeks ago where the Doc diagnosed it pretty quick.

PPS Grow the Van Dyke some more, it'll be nice and soft and smooth and fuller, but hey, that's a personal preference

let it go for a little while longer, it will soften up you just need to get past that irritating stage first.

Second, bring the hair line straight down, plus, you might like to think about not shaving the upper lip, go with a more scruffy unkept look while keeping it neat.. erm, hard to explain..

tea tree oil is good for just about everything... try some essential oil dabs. it's good for your skin, your hair, itchiness, etc. ad nauseum

Gillette?

I actually like you with a goatee.

I like your goatee though. I think it gives you character.

OMG, that sounds very bad.

Mine wasn't so bad. I didn't require any treatment after. The cancer was about the size of the top of my finger, but as you can see the took no chances LOL. It surprised me how much they took, but better safe than sorry. It was eating a hole in my face.

I don't think you need any plastic surgery.

Ditto... He look more manly now.

Best of luck Doug, with the rest of the surgery. Hope they don't have to go deeper. Be careful in the sun. Use lots of sunblock.

Are you popping your collar?! lol. Anyone ever told you you favor Simon Pegg? I mean that as a compliment, since I find him cute actually.

Don't feel like a jackass. I shouldn't have assumed that everyone would know what I was talking about. Anyway, all comment are welcome

charlitos saidGillette?

Does this mean you don't like it

Definatly not ugly in any way, but I do prefer the look you got going on in your main pic

Barricade saidAre you popping your collar?! lol. Anyone ever told you you favor Simon Pegg? I mean that as a compliment, since I find him cute actually.

Oh, I'm much hotter than that

Azstreaker saidMy Friends,

I live in the South West where skin can be damaged quickly with over exposure to the sun. I am strictly into Holistic methods and shun chemical drugs and even quack Doctors.....read the book, "Dead Doctors Don't Lie"

Anyway, you can build your natural resistance to all cancers by taking in the newly (again RE-discovered) POMEGRANATE concentrate. It's rich in Antioccidents. and can actually build up your skins defenses against sun and over exposure. Also eat more fresh fruit too. This all plays well to aid in your sun to build Melatonin to avoid getting bad skin.

If you do have issues I highly recommend using and applying this compound. You will see it as a miracle!! It works extremely well and will not burn like Retin-A......

I just received mine in the mail and I use. Keeps my skin looking good and if I had any irritation...it takes it away. I mean...I like the sun! SO I use it to keep my skin good. Many claims have been said about it. Try it and see!!

Get some quickly and it will heal up faster!!

Thanks for all that info.

Omg he does look like simon pegg!

I've had my goatee for several years now. I love it. I like a bit of facial hair.

I've tried shaving it off a few times, just for a different look, but always end up growing it back, because I feel naked without it.

You'll get over the itchiness. Keeping the edges trimmed is a bit tricky at first, but gets easier with practice.

Best of luck!

I can understand i might become a fixation for you since you live with it, but it wouldn't be a deterrent to me.You're a great looking guy with or without it!

A smile would do wonders.
