Cancer Scare and Shaving

During the past few months starting from May 2013 onwards, I have tried a lot of options with regards to beard and mustache and facial hair.
First I tried keeping French beard/Goatee but it did not work out.
Next I tried keeping a beard without a mustache and it lasted for a very long period of more than a month when I shaved it. Immediately after that, the Egyptian coup happened. Did the Egyptian coup happened because I shaved? It always troubles my mind.
Then I tried growing full beard with mustache. But then I shaved once more.
Fourth I tried keeping my mustache without beard and then I shaved it off. It was in the month of August.
Just last week I retried all the above options with little bit of each.
My observations. It is best if we keep both the mustache and beard. We may either grow it or keep it trimmed. Else we should shave it all off. The middle path i.e. keeping only the beard and shaving the mustache or vice-versa is not recommended. That is my personal opinion.
But additional thing I observed and hence this blog post.
Close to the beard and the mustache lies the nose. The nose is a unique organ of our body. I contains two pathways and a soft bone inside. Some more tissue surrounds the bone and then we have muscle and then skin. The pathways are directly linked to the lungs and our 'insides'.
What I found that in my case when I shave my full mustache+beard, then there is no hindrance and blood flows quite clearly from the nose to the other regions of my face and downwards to the jaw and neck and upwards towards the head and sideways to the ears.
Else what I feel that blood kind of becomes stationery around the nose area. Also, I have a small kind of tissue growth in my right nostril. At times it becomes stiff after combining with the surrounding tissue. Means the hard portion combines with the soft portion and the area becomes slightly hard in the process. When I touch it it is slightly painful.
I found that this above gets more on account when I don't shave either the beard or the mustache. Means when I shave certain areas of my face and leave certain areas out this thing happens. But when I clean-shave myself, I don't find that kind of pain on my nose.
My suspicion is that this kind of tissue 'coagulation' will lead to something more serious. Like cancer. I fear for it. Because no cancer stricken person is born that way. They are born healthy and due to 'some kind of conditions ripe in their bodies' and environment, they suffer from cancer. Very great doctors and scientists are researching this deadly disease. But I feel that this cancer happens due to virus and infection and what our body does in response. Our body fights these and when the fighting inside our bodies becomes an 'uncontrollable level', cancer forms and then our body is unable to tackle these and we come to rely on 'external forces' like 'chemotherapy' (which means use of chemicals) and 'radiotherapy' which involves use of radiation.
Any kind of 'uncontrolled growth' is what is cancer. That's what I feel.
So we should not allow such kind of 'uncontrolled growth' to happen. So what I did today I shaved and clean shaved. Like I have written earlier, I have always 'striven to shave' in my life.
