I'm desperate to end eruptions of a lesion type folliculitis infection in my beard.
Skin history:
Developed severe acne on my back and on my forehead when I was 12. After being disfigured on my back due to the severity, I took Accutane and it seemed like it cured me. Virtually leftwith no scarring on my face.
At that point, my facial hair began to grow in. I am now 21. The issues with folliculitis are never ending. After about 6 months of beingoff Accutane I developed an infection in the hairs just beginning to grow on my face. I did another course of Accutane and it again cleared me.
The pattern repeats and repeats and repeats. In total I have done around 8 courses of Accutane (and antibiotics)with the same doctor. In the past 3 years I have also had issues with yeast on my cheeks. These also have been reoccurring issues. However, it seemed the yeast and folliculitis lesions were different from each other. I was treated with fluconazole and it seems to make the yeast go away for a time.
I am now on course of Accutane again for painful lesions in my beard, but it almost seems like it's getting worse? The lesions get so deep and don't seem to heal,and at this point itis really starting to scar my face.
Should I have my beard lasered off? Ineed relief..... Something tellsit has something to do with yeast.
Hi guy94hg59
i dnt knw the exact treatment but my friend had the same thing. He use to have breakouts every time he grows his beard He trim his beard every 5 day n acne clear ups the next day he trims but the problem was still there so what he did that he started to grew his beard the most he can n let all the infected focille n acne comeout at once while he use take some antibotics n suprisingly his probkem was solved he dnt dont have such breakouts now rarely 1 or 2 just coz he is havg harmonal changes. N let me tell u that he let his beard grew for 3 months. All the best give it a try
Have you been able to find a solution to this problem?
I feel like I have a similar problem. Every 1-2 months I get a sudden breakout of awful folliculitis on my beard. It disappears very rapidly with co-trimoxazole, but it keeps recurring. This all started while I was on accutane for acne (which is still gone).
