This is the science dweeb board yea? Can one of you dorks tell me why my otherwise black goatee has so many reddish orange hairs sprinkled here and there? Weirdly enough when I grew out the rest of my beard there was basically none on my cheeks/neck, and I am a 100% purebred levantine bvll so there's no celtic admixture to explain it away either.
Red is halfway to white hairs
>>16979162That's a bacterial infection from not washing well enoughhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichomycosis_axillaris
>>16979209Really? I use cerave facewash daily and exfoliate every Sunday. What more should I do?
>>16979200I'm only 21
pubic hair, chest hair, arm hair, leg/shin hair, eyebrows, and scalp hair can vary in pigment. some follicles produce more pheomelanin, which can make individual hairs look reddish/orange even when the rest of the beard is black
>>16979209>>16979241That shit is tough to get rid of once it's there you have to cut off all the infected hairs and scrub, but even that's not guaranteed to get rid of it
>>16979308Geez, seems bad. Are there any side effects?
>>16979162Any phrenologists here who can explain why ops chin looks so faggy? I see it but cannot articulate it
>>16979241You should learn to properly wash.
>>16979339My chin could cut diamonds you freakish wretch.>>16979340I'm gonna beat your ass and make sure it ain't a wash, how about that?
>>16979242I had my first grey hairs age 18
>>16979162I got the same thing, doubt its >>16979209most likely just genetics.
>>16979209>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichomycosis_axillarisDoubt it, this mostly occurs in he pubic area or armpits. It's very hard it would survive on his beard.
>>16979753you're coping.
>>16979763Look up the MC1R gene and how it manifests in the body when it's present in only half of the 16th chromosome. OP says he's arab and it's uncommon but possible for him to have a recessive redhead gene.
