sweat gland under beard
Hi, In the past 5 weeks I havent shaved because im growing a beard. A few days back i noticed a lump under my beard and think its due to a blocked sweat gland, its not really painful although was a bit after i spent a day prodding it!! my question is are these more common with people gorwing beards?
It could be a blocked sweat gland, or it could be an ingrown hair.
If prodding at it with a pin didn't help, try a hot compress to bring it to a head.
Worse case scenario...you'll have to shave.

meant to say 'pre a couple of courses', also i use bio oil to help acne scarring
sorry, maybe i shouldve given you more info. I'm 35 and until a couple of years ago and post a couple of courses of roaccutane I used to suffer with quite bad acne, like the cysty type. Im very fair and currently live in hong kong where its over 30 degrees!!! which is why i might be sweating excessively
