Basically scalp acne is pustules that are form in the hair follicles that gets infected in no time and can become major problem in a very short spent of time. How do we best handle scalp acne?

You can treat scalp acne with the same acne products that you use for your face, however, many acne products that contain benzyol peroxide will bleach the hair and sometimes retard the growth of hair on which you apply on. Most acne products can be very drying for the scalp too. For that reason apply acne creams only on the acne spot with a cotton bud.

Before any treatment can be effective, hygiene and cleanliness is very important to lessen  recurring scalp acne. Choose a mild frequent wash shampoo and shampoo daily. If hair condition is needed, make sure that it is only applied to the hair end, avoid getting hair conditioners on the hair root or messaging it into the scalp. Apply acne treatment cream only after scalp is thoroughly cleansed.

For severe cases of scalp acne, do consult your family doctor. Various medications prescribe to help scalp acne conditions are oral antibiotics, mild topical steroids and topical antibiotics.
