I am not sure how to explain this without pics, but I will try.
Every few months, I will get what feels like an ingrown hair on my face or neck, where hair grows in, I'll feel my face for a tell tale bump, and when I find it, it looks like a black head pimple on the surface. However, it is not a pimple, but several beard hairs that appear to have been bundled into one large follicle.
I break out the tweezers and rubbing alcohol, and gently pull the bundle from the pore/follicle. I then proceed to place the rather short bundle in the sink, where it immediately falls apart to reveal several beard hairs bundled into one big pore clogging plug. <<<not a great visual
Again, I get these every 3 or 4 months, and they are usually under the jaw line, or on my neck. Has anyone else ever experienced this type of skin/beard issue? I have not seen a dermatologist yet, as I do not think it is that serious yet (unless it is a symptom of something else going on with my skin). If my description was vague, let me know, and I'll clarify. I thought it to be strange for a bundle of hairs to come out of one pore.
I know this sounds bizarre, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I know exactly what you mean - had them for years (in my 20s and early 30s) and then the issue gradually diminished and I no longer get them. Mildly painful and very annoying and then very satisfying once you extract the demon.
I'd say nothing to worry about.
