- Dermatologist warns against kissing men with beards
- They explain it’s full of bacteria that can infect your skin
A dermatologist has revealed the importance of “thinking twice” before kissing a bearded man – especially if you don’t know their grooming routine.
Muneeb Shah, known as the Derm Doctor, warns that beards “contain large amounts of bacteria” and can become infected if you get intimate.
“Rubbing them together can create tiny tiny cuts in the skin that can lead to infections such as impetigo.
He then pleaded with the man to “clean up his beard” to stop the problem at its root.
His warning was triggered by a video of a young woman’s painful rash.
The young blonde held her head and captioned the video: “I thought it was a good idea at the time and kissed a guy with facial hair.”
She then showed a picture of a red, scratched chin that had become increasingly infected over the course of a few days and was covered in angry welts.
The doctor’s followers were blown away by the video.
“I have a husband who has a beard and he always cleans his beard. I didn’t know this could happen,” said one woman.
“Who doesn’t wash his beard?” demanded another.
“I never thought I would have less facial hair than I used to, but here I am,” said another.
Some admitted that they were on the wrong side of the filthy beard.
One woman said, “I had an allergic reaction after kissing a man with a beard once. It turns out he was playing with cats before our date.
“Ah, terrible. Now I know the real reason for my bosom husband. My husband!” said another woman.
“I ate this after our first date. It blistered and peeled off for weeks,” added another.
This woman’s video has been viewed more than 9 million times.
