Avatar f tn I first noticed bumps on my scalp around four years ago..I didn't really think much of it until I started noticing it along my side burns, behind my ears and hairline. September 2015 I finally went to my dermatologist and he tries convincing me it was just acne but I tried explaining to him it wasn't behaving as ance usually behaves. They would come and go in flare ups, scab over and then usually disappear. The flare ups came and went around every two weeks.
Avatar m tn I have, what I can only describe as acne which is confined to my scalp. I am troubled by lots of spots and pimples, some have yellow puss in, some are just red spots. All are very sore to the touch. The main area of outbreak is a band across the back of my scalp from temple to temple, the sort of area where a hat band would contact your head. The spots are constantly appearing but I have periods of more severs outbreak. I have oily hair which I have to wash every day with baby shampoo.

Avatar m tn After two years of moderate to severe cystic acne (but a lifetime of mild acne punctuated by spurts of cystic acne), I have noticed two things-While I'm in my late 30's, "hormonal" acne treatments etc. DON'T WORK and powerful anitbiotics work FAST & best. My most recent expereinces: using a sulfa based drug for non-skin infections has almost obliterated cystic acne in 4, yes 4 days!!!!!!
Avatar f tn They have the common sense things like do not pick, washed twice a day, if you have oily hair wash everyday,rinse with warm water, and avoid some medications and over the counter products because they can be harmful to the baby. I have not found any home remedies on how to treat acne naturally. About the only thing that I have found is coconut oil but I do not know where to get it.
Avatar f tn s purely hormonal I tried to use remedies that would usually cure my menstrual acne and it just makes everything worse
Avatar f tn Im in desperate need of some home remedies that will take care of the acne on my forehead. It is so embarrassing and annoying! I am used to using astringent and other topical ointments from my dermatologist but since becomming pregnant ive stopped since some products can be dangerous. Ive asked this question before but have yet been successful at getting rid of it.. any suggestions would help greatly! Currently i am using clean and clear for sensitive skin.
Avatar n tn I have been living with a rash for approximately 8 months. It started when I moved to a hot climate under a lo of stress.It formed on my upper back as "acne like" bumps. They would not pop, but only bleed. I left it alone and they all scarred. They itched as well. A couple of months later, small itchy bumps formed on each side of my mouth, slightly lower.
Avatar f tn I looked up some natural at home remedies. You can use lemon as a bleaching agent. I have not tried it yet but I have the same problem. I also read on a thread that a doctor said benzoyl peroxide is ok. Gotta research that. Salicylic acid is a definite no no.
6706619 tn?1391316843 Does anyone have any home remedies or anything that will make my skin less oily? Ever since pregnancy my skin has gone crazy, I tried better make-up (improved a bit) but my skin is still oily without it. It wasnt this bad til I hit this last trimester =;( ugh I'm 29weeks Saturday.
Avatar m tn Hi i am a 26 yr old male. i have a moderately itchy scalp that gets oily by the end of the day & have occasional acne on the scalp. also i have significant hair loss due to it.Recently, i have noticed more frequent occurrence of acne on my face & rarely on my chest & back. i wash my hair everyday with a mild shampoo to remove the oiliness. it just doesn't seem to help. i somehow feel the itchy scalp, acne & facial acne are related.
Avatar m tn I've been having these acne/pimples start in my scalp, then they get irritated and pop. Sometimes they'll get very big and form like a bump and my hair would fall off. The bumps hurt like a sore and eventually it goes away after a month or so.

Avatar n tn In short, I regard the two conditions as separate and unrelated. Acne itself does not affect the scalp. In my experience, many cases of scalp folliculitis are stress-related. Unless a culture actually shows staph germs, I would be skeptical that these bacteria are playing any role here. If a topical antibiotic doesn't help, perhaps a topical steroid might. Ask your dermatologist. Also, be sure never to scratch any of the spots, since that perpetuates the problem. Take care. Dr.
Avatar m tn Hello, Greasy oily scalp can be due to less frequent washing of hair and it can cause hairfall as well. One of the natural home made remedies for the oily scalp is the use of lemon juice on the scalp and waiting for 15 min before washing it off. It is supposed to be good both for the oily scalp as well dandruff if any. A good massage of the scalp is also helpful as it ensures an increased blood supply of the scalp and also takes away the oils of the scalp towards the hair.
Avatar n tn Anybody have any suggestions for pregnancy acne?? I'm 25 weeks. Its not too bad, just on one side of my face, but it can get really annoying at times. I'm currently using Ambi Foaming Cleanser which has somewhat helped but I'd love any home remedies to get rid of it.
Avatar f tn I’ve tried various over the counter acne washes and my doctor even prescribed me a 5% benzoyl wash, which did not even do anything. I’ve also tried home remedies like aloe Vera and putting lemon juice. I also tried lemon and honey for my hyperpigmentation but sadly it did not work. I really have bad acne scars and there’s still some active acne. I really don’t know what to do anymore to the point that I’m starting to thing that this problem will last me a lifetime and won’t be cured anymore.
Avatar f tn s not working at all, washing my face twice a day, moisturizing! Nothing works! Any product or at home remedies would be great!!!! Thank you ladies!
Avatar n tn ve tried over the counter t/gel and other anti dandruff shampoos, but the itching drives me crazy. Any suggestions or home remedies I can benefit from. Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn Ive got scalp acne...i dunno if this is due to being pregnant or just my oily scalp.
Avatar f tn I used to have excellent skin with minimal acne, but now it is starting to scar, a lot. Home remedies and prescription pills from the doctor aren't doing squat, and I'm to the point I'm too embarrassed to be seen by anyone. I feel like a pubescent kid that everyone makes fun of. I'm afraid to date because it looks like an STI. My last boyfrirnd swore I had herpes, but I was tested repeatedly for it and it came back negative.
20900786 tn?1598014440 I hope you can help. I have what I can only describe as huge, thick wad of dead, dry skin on my scalp above m my forehead. It feels awful and it's so irritating. Nothing will make it go away, not even a special shampoo a dermatologist prescribed. It's been awhile since I was seen. What is it, and are there any home remedies I can use? Dandruff shampoo doesn't work.
Avatar f tn I've been noticing a lot more acne all over my neck, but mainly the front (super visble) and right around my hairline on the back. Also been getting a lot of weird, random "scabs" all over my scalp. Never had these problems before pregnancy. I know acne is normal, but i haven't gotten any on my face. Is any of this normal? More concerned about the "scabs", because i dont scratch my head much, but when i do, i find these. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Having dandruff problem even in the summers, having itchy scalp and an excessive hairfall problem. I have tried many shampoos and various home remedies but nothing worked out. Please help me out of this.
Avatar f tn Dont use scented stuff on.
Avatar f tn Sinus congestion and pressure. Is there any home remedies I can do to get rid of it? Or medicine suggestions?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know any home remedies for round ligament pain. The dr I saw today says Tylenol doesn't help. I hear warm baths, stretching, heating pads, and girlie so far. Any others?
