Hairline acne


I have mild hairline acne. Anything I can do at home?

If you have hairline acne, especially on the front and sides, shampoo your hair frequently. There are hundreds of shampoos on the market and this makes it very confusing for the consumer. Select baby shampoo and it will be as good as any other product. All the elegant shampoos in pretty containers may smell and look nice, but have no healing power and are a waste of money. 

The type of shampoo is not of great importance. Baby shampoo will do just fine. Try and keep the hairline clean and free from hair. If your scalp does get dry, apply baby oil at least twice a day. In many cases, it is the irritation from the hair and oils that cause hairline acne. If the acne is severe, you may benefit from a topical retinoid like accutane. Everything else is JUNK.
