A beard lichen is caused by fungi or bacteria. If you try to treat them with home remedies, you should see an improvement in your complexion relatively quickly. Otherwise, don't be afraid to go to the dermatologist. If you treat too long without success, nodular inflammation can form.
- It helps if you stop shaving. Every shave irritates yours skin and the care products that you apply after shaving can aggravate the condition due to the ingredients complaints to lead.
- If you can't do without a daily shave, choose a dry razor that you disinfect after each shave. If you do not do this, pathogens will be applied to the skin with each subsequent shave.
- A three-day beard is also a good alternative to daily shaving and is gentle on the skin. This beard can be easily shaped with scissors, so that the skin is spared.
- In any case, refrain from pressing on the inflamed areas. In the case of forms caused by bacteria, they can otherwise multiply in the skin and under certain circumstances even get into the bloodstream, which can result in blood poisoning.

It is also possible that the bacteria or fungi can reach other parts of the body and cause infections there.

You can get marigold ointment at the pharmacy. Choose an ointment with the highest possible concentration of active ingredients. Apply this ointment as thinly as possible on the affected skin areas.
- Marigold tincture is also highly concentrated. Due to the alcohol content, however, you should not apply them pure. Dissolve a teaspoon of the tincture in a glass of water and apply it directly to the pimple with a cotton swab.
- Tea tree oil is said to help against both bacteria and fungi and is therefore suitable for treating beard lichen. However, since this oil can be very irritating to the skin, it should only be used very diluted. Tea tree oil can only be diluted in another oil. Dissolve a drop of tea tree oil in skin-friendly almond oil and apply it with a cotton swab. If you can tolerate this dosage, you can slowly increase your concentration.
- Pick up horsetail from the pharmacy and make yourself one with it tea on. This horsetail tea can be used to rinse your face off.
