acne breakout on scalp????

Question

I have always shaved my head with a razor. In the last couple of weeks I have had a huge breakout all over my head, neck and scalp. Not much on my face. I havent changed shaving cream or a razor, so what can it be?

Answer 1

your razor may not be sharp enough or your skin is going through some changes. There is some cream that you can buy that prevents the thin layer of skins that "heals" over hair follicles and can cause ingrown hairs for Brazilian waxes). If it isn;t ingrown, it is 99% of the time caused by bacteria. Wash your hat, pillowcase, your hands before shaving, or other spots you might be picking up bacteria. You might want to take some vitamins too. If your immune system is down, you are more prone to infections.

To help control acne, keep your skin clean. Avoid skin products that clog your pores. Look for products that say “noncomedogenic” on the label. Wash your skin once or twice a day with a gentle soap or acne wash. Try not to scrub or pick at your pimples. This can make them worse and can cause scars.

For a few pimples, you can get an acne cream without a prescription. Look for one that has benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These work best when used just the way the label says.

It can take time to get acne under control. Keep using the same treatment for 6 to 8 weeks. You may even notice that it gets worse before it gets better. If your skin is not better after 8 weeks, try another product.

If your pimples are really bothering you or are scarring your skin, see your doctor. A prescription gel or cream for your skin may be all you need. Your doctor may also order antibiotic pills. A mix of treatments may work best. If you are female, taking certain birth control pills may help.

If you have acne cysts, talk to your doctor about stronger medicine. Isotretinoin (such as Accutane) works very well, but it can cause depression, birth defects, or high cholesterol. Let your doctor know if you have had depression before taking this medicine.
