I have a question about my acne/skin rash?

I'm an 19 year old guy. I have perioral deratitis. It is when you have red bumps around your mouth. Essentially it looks like acne but it has this name, so I will refer to it as acne. It bothers the **** out of me. I know it's gay but I actually wear make-up now to cover it up. I hate wearing makeup. I can't grow facial hair, so I was thinking could I buy a fake beard that looks real and just wear that . Any ideas if that would be a good idea, and if so where I would get this legitimate looking fake beard.|||Don't buy a fake beard! You would prob look worse. Try acne meds, there's pro-active or there is an imitation of that they sell at CVS called Acne Free. I also wouldn't recommend using makeup. It clogs your pores. If none of that works I would go and see a specialist.|||aww..dont get a fake beard. it'll make your condition worse cuz your skin wont be able to breathe. i'm sure there's some kind of treatment you can get from a dermatologist.|||Try going to the dermatologist and perhaps he/she can prescribe you with something to clear it.|||I've heard about the deratits. I think getting a false beard is one the dumbest ideas anyone ever thought of. No offense to you or anyone else that buys them, but they make no sense, unless it's for a costume.





If there's no way to get rid of it, then try to find ways to make it look not as red. Try going to a store like "bath and body works", and getting a 3 step face cleaner. They may be a little more hygene then what you might be used to, or a little more pampering then you prefer. But trust me, in the long run, it'll be alot better then wearing make-up, or a false beard.





You can also try wearing moisturizing masks at night. When I say mask, I don't mean the green kind that hardens, the kind you see int he movies. They have masks that are clear, green, many different colors, and some of them don't really dri hard. As they dry at night, they crack, so your face has room to move, but it won't come off until it's washed off.





Masks aren't made for just woman now. Men actually have a few better face cleansers then woman do! So don't think that there's anything wrong with a guy wanting to use an atrengent(however you spell it), a toner, and a moisturizer. The mens versions are made for those who want to make their skin look better, feel better, and just have confidence in themselves!





Wish all the best of luck!! I'm wearing my lucky pants, so...........lol
