What Causes Coarse Hair Growth On Anterior Side Of Neck And Swollen Nodules?

I am a Caucasian male age 40. I have curly corse hair that grows on the anterior side of my neck. After shaving the hair begins to grow back but it comes back in different directions and I suffer from swollen nodules and large inflamed hair follicules. I don t know how to prevent this but my neck starts to resemble unclean and ugly nodules that people seem to star at. How can I prevent this from happening?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with irregular hair growth at the anterior side of the neck with associated hair follicles and nodules I am suggesting that you have gradually developing condition called follicular barbae with hormonal inbalance

In view of this please do a
hormone profile test
Blood culture

Meanwhile please see a dermatologist as well as endocrinologist specialist with the results and for further expect clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription

Moreover please minimize shaving regular as this is a precipitating factor

I hope this helps Regards
