I don’t particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic 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.

      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.

        Hate to break it to the OP, but keeping myself cleanly shaved has helped a lot with keeping it off the face. I still get it occasionally on my sternum like you.

          Me too, but it hides under my beard so it’s not really visible anyway. It does occasionally itch, but not too bad. I like my beard more than I hate the dermatitis.
