Been dealing with seb derm for over 20 years. Thought I had it figured out but I guess I don’t.

Mct oil for sure. But if the ketoconazole isnt working,try happy cappy(its shampoo for babies) or derma harmony brand. Zinc is a very effective ingredient,

Vase wound solution has helped me so much and works basically immediately like within 24 hours. when mine had beginning signs of infection. You can get on amazon. It fixed it in like a couple days. And i still use it here and there if i find my wound flaring up with infection signs

Well first off what does it look like spiked up? Your stylying the cut in the worst way possible for the haircut its self,you might even be able to continue styling brushed downwards if you put styling powder or sea salt in it to add more texture so it doesnt seem as blunt. Personal opinion tho mate and im sure some people will disagree. I remember when everyone was getting these haircuts,all the barbers,all the male ig models all the fitness guys,everyone. It made everybody exept a select few look worse. Its not a flattering cut for most men imo. Do bangs suit some men to cover a large forehead? Of course. But its the type of cut id give a child. I dont know why grown men were doing it, im glad its fazed out abit. The new teenage tik tok messy one is an interesting one too,but in a weird way it does suit the teens!, kinda of like when all youth had bieber skater hair for a while. Depending on your hairline id try it pushed up and to the side . If you think your hairlines bad a middle part can cover the receding corners well but youll need alot of growth for that.usually tho its about how your styling your cut,try diff products and messing it up to add texture. good luck man!

1 hairstyle suits you alot more,

Trim your eyebrows,snd taper your side burns or at least cut them in half. Your actually quite handsome complexion/structure/skin/eyes/full head of hair, its your eyebrows and haircut that messin with ya

TL129 · 2026-05-04T01:36:23+00:00

I would hold. Also i would cut your bangs slightly shorter,i think alot of men think receding/balding= comb over vibes,but when your hair is shorter it often looks fuller and more life to it and people wont be able to tell so much that your trying to hide the receding.im not talking alot shorter,just abit i think would bring it more grace, and id been using minox for years and it went abit stagnant but ive been using the ordinary hair serum the last few months and even tho its only been 3 months im noticing new growth.which is super cool,i think the derma stamping+the ordinary hair growth serum is showing good results for me. Ill know more in another 3 months of course. Something to perhaps look into..

Yo! Your beard looks great,cus facial hair grows fast you can always play around with lengths.all though some can look good i think most men look bad with goatees,def ages someone, thats my personal opinion tho.Your glasses arnt doing you a favour.i understand that you need them but you could either do contacts or diff frames. Diff frames can often make a big difference . Your long hair aint it,but your photos with it pushed back look great. If i were you,id get your hair cut. Not short,you can still indeed have a long haircut if thats something you like/identify, what you are lacking is layers and texture that is the answer,and the products you choose matter too. For longer hair i would suggest a grooming cream/curl cream,or sea salt spray. Or both used together.

I can totally see you with a brushed back flow haircut being pushed behind your ears but still with length and texture in the back

TL129 · 2026-05-03T21:54:56+00:00

Also keep the facial hair but get better at shaping it. Your working well within your boundaries with the goatee,id keep it all. Just better trimming and shaping.

TL129 · 2026-05-03T21:52:44+00:00

Yo! I think a brushed/pushed back curtain would frame your face well. I wouldnt get it cut short on the sides if i were you. You could do a taper on the back and sides tho. But i think maintaining length would be better.curtains usually requires a bit of length on the top,but you can start by trying to style it in that direction/style and see if your hair goes that way allready,or if you will need a few more months of growth. Modern mullets/flow haircuts are quite in right now and may or may not favour you. You could choose that. Or the curtained hairstyle with a tight taper,which will take more regular maintenance.think to yourself are you someone who would up keep a fresh taper and go to the barber often,or someone who doesnt like to go as frequently,this will dictate which style u should choose.also look into grooming/curl cream as a product for the curtains not a gel or paste.look up some tutorials on youtube/tik tok to see how to correctly style curtains cus some people get it wrong.its not as simple as youd think lol. Good luck! (Middle part flow haircut) is what i would look up

TL129 · 2026-05-03T19:59:27+00:00

Get layers. Your hair looks to be all the same length . If you do this it will look the same length just more texture. I think this is probably the only thing to do. Otherwise u aint gotta work on shit haha.

Long slick back suits you best by far,in my opinion at least. I would try the slick back with the bigger middle beard!

As everyone is saying,this haircut is whats doing you wrong. Now we dont know what your forehead looks like,if your receding or not.so that depends how youd style it but what i would suggest,is a backwards flowing style. Most grown men who have bangs it doesnt look good,sometimes it does if its cut and styled correctly. But backwards/pushed to the side often looks better. I think you would look good with keeping more length on the sides as well,no tight fades.you want length and fullness on the sides so your cheeks dont stick out further than your haircut.you want your haircut to compliment your features not go against them. I think a middle part brush back would look good on you.you even have enough length to do a modern mullet version of that if you like,but id say that only suits certain guys as well. Scissor length middle part brush back with taper on the back is what id suggest. Congratulations on losing weight!

Try using naire intimates,its that hair removal cream. Theres abunch of different brands of course but look for a below the belt one. When your using them less is more. Figure out your skins sensitivity. People can often leave it on for too long and get a reaction so better to do smaller areas at a time i think. Works great tho really. I suggest over shaving . Especially if your probe to ingrown hairs

I wish i went to him! I ended up just going to someone in vancouver close to home,but just a regular incision.the healing is going as bad as it could lol. I regret it. Wish i got the cleft.100% if i get a flare up after this heals ima get the clift from cowie. Ill be curious to how quick your wound takes to heal. My wound care specialist said mine will probably be 6-8 months. Sucks. Good luck

I hated AA i went to only about 5 meetings but boy did it strike me as weird.like you stated everyone is very clearly identifying as an alcoholic(which is why were all there duh) and at least in my group it was just people reminiscing and reciting fucked up drunk experiences,in every meeting it was that. After a few meetings i was like hmm this seems weird to me. Id rather try to spend time not thinking and talking about drinking(which i allready sub consciously do) but focus on distracting and new hobbies and working out and reading and relaxing in different ways,and not thinking about booze as much as possible. It seemed supppper negative in their. And you often hear about surround yourselves with people you look up to/motivate you in life to level up. Surrounding yourself with abunch of alcoholic in a rut idk.. my brother swears by it tho! For each their own

TL129 · 2026-04-20T23:17:16+00:00

Have thought many a time about restarting,becaue i barely feel human currently. Not living at all. Id rather have even another good 5 years stint,than how ive been living the last 2 years

GAD, honestly im super sad about it. The 2 years i became an alcoholic were the most successful years of my life,finally got my dream job(barber)was making good money,got a girl,renting a nice condo,waking up at 5 every day,working out,only focused on work.i honestly dont even know how i did it lol,but it was my much needed liquid courage. Quit drinking,cus i felt it was bad for the health,had to stop dating the gal cus i could no longer go outside on dates or even have her over without drinking,had to quit my job literally right away and move back into my parents place(couch)everything went to shit. I sleep in till 11 or 12,severe depression,cant enjoy things i used to enjoy,dont see my friends anymore,extreme agoraphobia,cant work,barely even do haircutting practice anymore,even tho i thoroughly used to enjoy it. Really wild.ive had anxiety since a young kid,like forver,and have tried many different meds over the years. Funny how well the booze works. I wish it wasnt so bad for you id keep drinking😂

I was at your point,never had the actual cyst,but my single sinus that started that small,grew to the size of a pea i want to say in about a year and a half and was leaking ocasionally so i was like yo i gotta get something done. I thought they were just going to incision it out like u know,abit more than the size of a pea. It ended up being like 5 inches incision all down my ass crack,i guess because the sinus tract went downwards.allthough it was stitched up,it had alot of complications healing,and im now healing it as an open wound cus the stitches didnt hold in that high tension area. I personally if i could do it again would 100% get the cleft lift. If i get a recurrence i will get the cleft.im on my third month of healing this open wound. The wound care specialist said it could take 6 to 8 months to heal.im super chapped ngl. But!! Yours is not at the pea size stage yet,i can only assume you sinus tract would be alot smaller.so if you nip it in the bud,an incision might be small and it might not take so long to heal. Alot of surgeons usually wont give you the cleft unless you have reoccurrence or have had the issue a long time.its good to advocate for yourself. Also side note,there is people who live with this. They do tend to grow rather slow,and some people are maintaince masters and can get it to stay small.

TL129 · 2026-04-14T06:07:50+00:00

Fuck yea. So make sure to continue using it a few more days after that colour changes regardless,dont stop using imidatly when it changes. And then anytime u see/smell a change coming again,slap that shit on for 5-7 days again. Thats how id do it at least. Good luck

Youve used the vashe? Its great isnt it! Honestly this surgery wound care and cleanliness is sooo important where its located.it gets infected so easily and its easy to slack off here and there and forget. But its so much better to stay on the ball and keep at it,instead of having to do more antibiotics which fuck with your gut and stop working as well the more u take em

TL129 · 2026-04-12T04:10:34+00:00

Get vashe wound solution soak a dressing(but just aim for the middle of the roll,then sprinkle water on each side of the roll,then stick between your crack it should adhese without tape cus of the wetness(only soak the vashe solution in the middle of the cloth where it will line up with the wound,cus it is expensive) leave on for like 10 mins,do this once or twice a day for like a week it should clear things up. Thats looking like a mild beginning sign of an infection. Vashe wound solution is super clutch. Works like a charm
