acne
I've had Behcet's Disease for many years, seemingly with the arthritis-acne-skin lesion cluster along with the major/minor diagnostic criteria. HLA-B51 and pathergy tests are negative, but that's not uncommon for Americans of Northern European heritage. While I get many individual or scattered skin ulcerations, sometimes they appear in linear or near-linear configurations.
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.
Here's a link to an article regarding scalp acne:

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.
ve experienced extremely dry and flaky scalp. Can you look at these photos and tell me what it is? Dry scalp, dandruff, scalp psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis. The bad part is, I just washed my hair on Monday night. I washed it, conditioned it, put a little of olive oil (food-grade), then I braided my hair in about 8 plaits. I have to wash my hair every week b/c of my scalp. I'm unable to wear twist-outs/braid-outs or any hairstyle that requires me to wear my hair out.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
helo..
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.
one week i will have them on my neck (only a couple - no more than 5), then the next week on my forehead (many), then the next week on my scalp (never had scalp pimples before).
As for the "pompholyx) my dermatologist seems to think it might in fact be something else because the treatment he gave me for it (a cream i cannot remember the name) only made it worst.It went away after a couple of days but it is now back.
This is starting to concern me.
