Is it possible to be allergic to my own facial hair. I have had a beard for over 15 years. Recently I developed a severely red itchy rash on my chin and face. So I shaved my beard off and treated the rash with moisturizer and in two days it was gone. It stayed gone for about a week until my beard started filling back in, Then the rash came back just as bad as before. Once again I shaved and moisturized and in two days it was gone again, A week later its back. Am I doomed to be clean shaven. Please let me know if anyone out there has ever heard of this condition.
