Redness, pimples and other stuff on your head...

Back to the redness/pimples, here's another theory...

Since I shaved my head, I've been touching my head a lot.  I don't notice until my wife slaps me and tells me I "look like a monkey, stop doing that all day."  It got me thinking, if you touched your face all day, you'd probably break out, so the head can't be all that different.  Not sure if you've been touching your head, but that might be it.  I know Bald guyz sells those head wipes, but I haven't tried them yet.

I had a similar problem, I asked my dr about it and he prescribed a wash to use, it's called Clenia foaming wash, it's Sodium Sulfacetamid and sulfer 10% of each and my skin cleared up with in a few days, now I just use it every few days and haven't had a problems since.

is that clenia over the counter? i have had some acne popping up near my temples recently, and im looking for a new face wash....

I've just been at the chemist's and I was given Dalacin C and Germisdin for
the pimples and the redness.

Dalacin C is a cream in a tube, and the chemist told me to apply it locally twice
a day.

Germisdin is an antiseptic washing solution to wash my head with (and it's bloody expensive).
I used to use Betadine, but according to the chemist that's quite heavy stuff
to be using on a regular basis. To give you an idea - it's mostly used in hospitals, and is probably not meant for regular use.
So I hope the Germisdin will do an overall better job in that respect.

I'm confident the acne and the redness will disappear, or at least be reduced by this new regimen.

I shall let you know about the results in a future post. Thanks, guys, for all your advice and tips so far. I really appreciate all your help.

Hey guys,

since you've all been so helpful with posting your tips, I thought
I'd let you know how it turned out with that pimple thing:

Now, as I mentioned earlier, I got myself that cream and that antiseptic liquid soap from a pharmacy. I've been using these for the past couple of weeks (washing my head with the antiseptic "Germisdin" every second day and applying the "Dalacin" cream twice a day), and the results so far have been great!

There's been a noticeabe reduction of pimples and redness all over my skull.
Most pimples are gone, and the redness isn't quite as red now. It's gotten much paler and is much much less noticeable now. I'm quite happy with the results.
The use of the cream, the antiseptic soap and the more careful shaving (especially around the affected areas) have definitely paid off.

Again, thanks for all your posts and tips. They've been very helpful.
