acne

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 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 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.
Avatar f tn as a hair dresser i know what they look like) and i had terrible acne... I have had acne for years that seemed to get worse...the painfull kind that makes you not want to leave the house... (I eat healthy, drink lots of water, take lots of vitamins, excercise, have good hygine, good housekeeping habits... and I am 27 years old... I don't smoke, I don't drink...and i am still affected...
Avatar n tn The face condition cleared up but I began getting red bumps around my eyes and mouth sometimes and my scalp is itchy. Round Red spots are on my armpits, chest and groin. I was given creams for all these but they just come back. My face isn't bad but the rest doesn't seem to be getting better. The shampoo they gave me doesn't seem to control it that great. The patches on my neck have grown almost entirety to my right side of the neck and a spot on my chin.

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 f tn Ive got scalp acne...i dunno if this is due to being pregnant or just my oily scalp.
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 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 f tn I have alot of white heads , acne from white heads and cystic acne all over my face i have tried everything even medication(homeopathy- kali brom 30) bt its not helping at all. Its still growing and nothing seems to work!
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 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 m tn I get severe itching which last for a short time before it subsides(I either give in and scratch or let it go) when I go out in the sun and its hot...or when I workout..basically I think when I am sweating. It itches in my scalp, and parts of my body..like my chest..arms..shoulders etc..the itch is someetimes not bearable..and I have to scratch. What could be the problem? This problem has been there for years and doesnt seem to go away... I have acne most times..ranging from mild to severe...
Avatar m tn Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is believed to have a hereditary component, and often runs in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma. Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on face and scalp, neck, inside of elbows, behind knees, and buttocks. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid like hydrocortisone or desonide may be used. They do not cure eczema, but are highly effective in controlling or suppressing symptoms in most cases.
