Yes I have done the search before I made this thread not satisfied with what I was finding.

Ok been cutting my hair real low for over 10 years now. Well couple days ago I cut it and for some reason head just been on fire, I lost my little mirror so I can look at the back awhile back never had issues so never really looked back there. Well I went and bought a little mirror so I can see what was going on and I got some bumps back there and I have dark spots too honestly don't know if those dark spots just came recently or been there for awhile. Only dark spot I recognize is the line across the bottom from being edged up had that for years (need to get rid of that).

Ok right now I'm putting organic Aloe Vera and raw shea butter. Should I buy some of that bump patrol stuff?

My weight is terrible in that I'm losing too much, I'm a vendor right now so all day I'm moving long hours, shit I stopped working out b/c I felt I was losing too much. I'm getting a workout and sweating my ass off so I'm good there

Only on weekends m-f I try to eat healthy as fuck. Man these bump most likely came from me cutting my shit and not using a alcohol/aftershave on my head. Also my dumb ass has gotten lazy on putting some type of cleaner on my blades, sometimes I would just oil the blades up and thats it. Fuck I thought my head would never get fucked up never had issues in the past. Fuck now its not as bad I'm making it sound but I need this shit gone ASAP
 
When is the last time u changed the blades?
Man long fucking time years man, I'm embarrassed on how lazy I have been with that, but I thought the back of my head was like how some of my homeboys never have issue with ingrown on their face. I figured just putting alcohol and oil on the blades was good enough for my shit. I deserved to get slapped for that shit.
 
a) grow a shag or one of those fauxhawks for awhile
b) see aboout getting a chemical peel for what sounds like hyperpigmentation on your neck
c) that bump patrol is bullshit,so is skin tend..in my opinion...... alcohol,with hazel will do the same thing...much cheaper
 
drink 64oz of water every day - increase to 96oz or better in the summer or hot days
I had that when I was highly stressed well exercised but poorly hydrated for a while
I'm very stressed right now too, company made some changes and I'm getting killed with work and hate my new schedule and trying to decide if I need to step down to part time or just quit

a)Not a option after 4 days my shit looks terrible which is the reason I cut it short losing hair on the corners, cant go out in public with a fucked up hairline nope not me
b)might have to do that, I did laser for my facial hair so I have no problem taking on something like this
c)I used tend skin when I first started shaving in college the shit burned my face so many times and is the reason I had darker skin in that area, thought bump patrol might be different
 
yeah check into those different chemical peels... plenty of info and videos on youtube
I did those laser treatments too and that shit didnt totally solve the hyperpigmentation problem in my beard area so I just started the peels to see if it will help...
 
find away to decompress... run, take pictures, do model building etc... but right now start hydrating
Yeah I have been doing a terrible job on my water with this job, so worried about getting done as fast as I can will stop by a water fountain get a quick sip and keep moving, fucking even stop taking my 16 oz water can with me, shit I feel if I stop at all I will fuck up my time and not get out fast enough for my company standards and I was not trying to hit that traffic on the way home since it can be a long drive, scared that I will fall asleep behind the wheel after doing all this work and driving at a slow pace

Keep me updated I think I talked with you in the laser thread about creams, my shit will look good for several months and then start getting dark again. I realize I cant just keep using these creams don't seem safe

How many peels have you done?

You need to find a better less stressful job.
 
Yeah we talked in that laser treatment thread.
The laser made it easier to shave with a razor but after awhile I realized my skin looked better just shaving with T-liners.
I've just done one at-home TCA peel so far, the other day. I don't think I left it on long enough because my skin hasn't really started peeling much. Next time I do it. Im going to leave it on longer.
I'll update afterwards

I know man, I'm just working this job to help build my money up to my goal and try to start my own thing. I have a nice amount now and could quit, just trying to reach the number I set before I took this job should get there in about 5 months

Oh trust I will be hittin you up lol been looking for something to permanently fix the dark skin issue
 
Neck AIDS aka Cocoa Krispies aka wtf happen to the back of his neck. No cure. 1 in 10 black men contract it. Either you weren't cleaning ur clippers after every cut or weren't putting alcohol on ur neck after every cut. The bumps spread. It gets worse. Let's just say I wld shampoo the top part of my couch whenever my uncle wld come over. Only option I can think of is amputation.

Good luck w life bruh.

Lmaooo! :lol2:

He can't amputate his head bruh. He'll die.
 
My uncle who routinely shaves his head , came across some weird bump pattern near his ear
Shit looked trippy as fuck, anyway he used some of my Cortisone 10 icy clear gel
Nasty ass pimples went away so try that
 
I'm very stressed right now too, company made some changes and I'm getting killed with work and hate my new schedule and trying to decide if I need to step down to part time or just quit


All jokes aside, find a way to keep your stress levels in check man.

We always talk about how they kill us on the streets but we rarely talk about how they try to kill us in the office. Nobody is gonna manage your health/ stress levels but you. Go part time and drive Uber to make up the difference if the job is bringing that much grief to your life. Specially if it's not a career role you're invested in growing in...

Yo... @IMDATDUDE Heres the follow up on the peel.
After doing a 20 percent TCA peel around my beard area.. the shit started the peel and my skin is clearing up. I Also, got my blades replaced on my t-liners and stopped fuckin with razors
I believe both are playing a part in the skin clearing up and me being able to get to all the hairs
But with the peel.. your skin actually visibly is peeling and shredding so be prepared if you use this... I figured its better short term than dark, marked up skin on the side of my face
If you keep it moisturized youll be aight
I think this should help around your neck and also if youre still having troubles in the beard area
Also I fucked with a 40 percent glycolic peel on my forehead ... it doesnt visibly peel, but it peels . That may be an option if you want to take your time.
look into it and let me know if you need any info...
 
My weight is terrible in that I'm losing too much, I'm a vendor right now so all day I'm moving long hours, shit I stopped working out b/c I felt I was losing too much. I'm getting a workout and sweating my ass off so I'm good there


I wish I had this problem.

Alright cool, I'm going wait on another update from you to see if your skin starts to get dark again. That was my issue with the cream I will be good for a good 4 to 5 months then it will start to get dark again on the sides of my mouth when I stop putting the shit on.
 
I wish I had this problem.
Man one of the reason I took the job, with my healthy eating I do and the physical work thought I would love this but damn I have officially lost 20 pounds quick and thats not a good thing I was only weighing 181 when I started
 
Are your blades rusted or old? You might need to change them. Put some rubbing alcohol on your neck after each cut or astringent. Clean the blades after each use with a toothbrush. Try to keep your neck clean.
 
@IMDATDUDE update. It's been about a month or so since I've used the TCA peel. I've done it twice and the peeling has really started to smooth out my skin around the beard area. I used the peel and TLiners only. No razor. It's a night and day difference, much better than the laser treatments.
Basically what it's doing is a deep exfoliating and getting rid of the skin and exposing the ingrown hairs and new later of skin.
If you're still having probs. It may be a solution or help. But start with a low percentage. 20-25%
