Avatar m tn I have problem with my scalp, it started a 4 months ago. I have acne all over my scalp, maybe around 5 to 6 of them at any time. Its itchy, red skin, inflammation around the area for a few days until i apply ketoconozole cream. I hav tried taking kotoconazole tablet (400mg /day) and fluconozole on a weekly basis. I try going to a hot spring (natural) which believe to have to cure. so far Its getting better but i still feel something on my scalp, which is not normal. 1.

1073912 tn?1510021266 I suffers from body-acne since 4 year.Those acne appears on the back, shoulders, face, and chest I had blood test few days ago.Everything was normal (Haemogobin,Neutrophils,Lymphocytes.Monocytes,Total Leucocyte count and Basophill) but eosinophils vaule was litlle higher 9% than normal vaule(1-6 % normal).I search on web and found it may cause allergic effects. If this increment in Eosinophils value is responsible for Body acne Is this due to the oily food i eat ?
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 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 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 These symptoms seem to get worse on specific occasions where I am overly stressed. At first I was told it was folliculitis and was given acne medication,this helped me slightly but it was only temporary relief and came back after the meds was finished.the second medication I was prescribed was a fungal tablet which seemed to help more then the first prescription but only lasted a short while and the side affect wasn't worth it.
Avatar f tn Ive got scalp acne...i dunno if this is due to being pregnant or just my oily scalp.
Avatar n tn I have seen a local Derm who said there was no scarring on my scalp and no real skin issues associated with my hair loss. In 2004 I took a course of Roaccutane for acne and noticed some thinning after the course finished. I was told that this was a known side effect, but that the hair would grow back. It has been over four years!!! My hair is uniformly thinned out across the entire scalp.
Avatar f tn It is so nice to be busy and actually accomplish something whereas before I was taking the medication, I was very busy but usually made a bigger mess and never accomplished anything. I am taking 15 mg twice daily. I am getting horrible acne on my face and kind of the same thing but on my scalp around the top of my head. I am wondering if anyone knows if this is a side effect of that medication?
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 m tn Acne and dry scalp are not associated with any std, including HIV. If you are concerned about HIV, get a test, but nothing you have suggests HIV.
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 f tn Fearing that those would leave me marks I went to dermatologist and was prescribed acne clear gel, hidrate lotion and adaferin gel. I have been using acne gel and hidrate lotion from one month my acne settled well. But from last 3 days I am getting very bad white flakes on face. My face is tight and some time applying lotion burns my face. White flakes have appeared first time on my face. I am very scared does this resembles dermatitis? I also have little bit itching on face.
Avatar f tn has been able to give me a good diagnoses or treatment. One Dr. said scalp acne which seems possible and he gave me an antibiotic for acne which actually worked great only my scalp got reallys dry. Ask your doctor to try you on Minocycline to see if maybe you have bacteria in your skin. I do get to go see another Dr. in a few weeks.....wish me luck!
Avatar f tn I have the same issue! I'm 33 weeks with a boy too. My first baby. And not only do I have itchy scalp but super dry and flakey skin as well as acne worse than I've ever had in my entire life! For my scalp I use is a tree tea oil shampoo. It tingles a bit on your scalp when u wash but it relieves dry scalp which causes the itch. I hope this helps and good luck with your little guy!
Avatar m tn I can tell you that during the first couple months of going low-carb, I noticed that my scalp acne and oiliness vanished. Initially I assumed it was the low-carb diet that was responsible for the improvement, but during that time I also took myo-inositol and d-chiro inositol to help with insulin sensitivity. Later I discontinued taking the inositols and eventually the oily scalp and acne returned.
Avatar f tn I am on minocycline and it says some stuff about peoples skin being itchy but not very much about scalp itching. It is mostly on the back of my head. I dont know if it is lice or anything else. It is really annoying. Any help?
427382 tn?1298209586 My daughter had baby acne which showed up when she was around 3-4 weeks and it lasted about 1 month. During her 2 month check up the doctor said that by this time any dry skin or baby acne usually goes away (hers already cleared up). I had read though not to poke or pop anything, just wash her face. Every baby is different but aparently baby acne is very common.
Avatar f tn sorry for disturbg u again. i have doubt . i had chicken pox and heavy medication 1 week before of the exposure. it will delay my antibody production?
Avatar f tn I have Hashimoto's, but whenever my body swings to hyper mode, I get the acne all over my scalp, face and chest. I have no idea why. Nizoral helps the scalp. I haven't found anything for the face other than washing and using lots of concealer.
Avatar f tn For acne you the severity and extent of your acne has to be considered here. Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and/or bacteria. Apart from hereditary factors which may cause hyperactive sebaceous glands, certain diets (high in refined sugars and processed foods) and hormonal changes are associated with outbreaks of acne lesions. You may try using OTC bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide in mild to moderate acne.
Avatar m tn The back of my neck in my hair line has started breaking out in the past 2 days. I also am getting lots of acne on my face, I mean I have always had some acne but not like this.
Avatar m tn I started developing very bad sclap acne in the winter 3 years ago. I had moderately long hair and it would continuously itch with my scalp being mostly red and acne in various places. I tried many shampoos to ease the itching and redness Nioxin, Head and Shoulders,Selsun Blue, Nizoral, Neutrogena T-Gel Extra Strength, non helped. I noticed when my hair was short it helped the redness and acne go away. I went to a dermatologist and he said its just stress.
