One of the most romantic methods to show love is with a kiss, which makes you feel warm and butterflies in your stomach. However, have you ever had mild soreness around your chin and mouth afterward? Perhaps it's your partner's beard! Beard burn, the name for this irritation, is a genuine thing and can cause more than simply discomfort. If left untreated, it can occasionally result in infections and outbreaks.
 
It's fairly typical.
According to dermatologist Dr. Veenu Jindal, who founded Rasa Derm in Delhi, beard burn is a form of contact dermatitis that is typically brought on by coarse facial hair rubbing against the face's delicate skin.
 
Many individuals experience it, but those with reactive or sensitive skin may be more susceptible, she told the india Herald. This is due to the fact that beard burn results from physical reasons rather than an immunological response; it is an exterior abrasion rather than an allergy.
 
Additionally, dermatologist and Dermalinks, NCR medical head Dr. Vidushi Jain discusses the reasons for beard burn. It happens when coarse facial hairs rub against the skin, resulting in small lesions that cause abrasion and discomfort. The natural protective covering of the skin is removed by this abrasion. The abrasion may be accentuated by dense, pointed beard hair, she says.
 
Beard burn can occasionally result from a tender, loving touch of your partner's face on yours. It's not just about kissing. A little stubble may make a tremendous difference since those intimate moments might inadvertently cause a stinging feeling.
 
Know the symptoms
"Repeated exposure to an irritant can cause more serious skin problems, especially if the skin doesn't have time to recover. Beard burn is quite frequent and typically moderate. Frequent burns to the beard might eventually result in fissures and breaks, raising the possibility of bacterial infections. According to Lalita Arya, a cosmetologist and vice president of DermaPurity's Aesthetic Clinic in Delhi, some persons may also have dark spots as a result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
 
A person who already has rosacea, eczema, acne, or another skin problem may experience flare-ups due to beard burn.

How to treat beard burn
A moisturizer or emollient can help restore the skin's protective layer and reduce irritation in milder situations. Although it should be used carefully, a low-strength hydrocortisone cream may also lessen redness and irritation. Do not hesitate to see a dermatologist if your symptoms worsen or continue.
 
It's crucial to refrain from touching or massaging the sensitive region if you have a beard burn since this might exacerbate the redness and raise the risk of infection. If your beard burn keeps happening, think about having an honest talk with your spouse about it because it might be uncomfortable. Together, you may investigate beard care items that can make their facial hair less rough and softer, such as conditioners, balms, or softening oils. By lessening your discomfort and enhancing your partner's beard's texture, these items can make intimate encounters more comfortable.
 
Home remedies to try
• Because aloe vera juice reduces inflammation and retains moisture, it can help soothe inflamed skin and lessen redness.

• Applying a cold compress to skin that is inflamed can assist immediately by reducing the warmth and redness.

• To assist in strengthening the skin barrier and prevent irritation from growing worse, use coconut or olive oil.

• Honey's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce the risk of infection and reduce inflammation-related discomfort. Applying a little coating and rinsing it off after ten to fifteen minutes might be beneficial.

• In larger regions, a colloidal oatmeal soak might help soothe the skin and lessen swelling. For more extensive or persistent beard burns, this is an excellent option.
