Getting rid of pimples/razor bumps on shaved head

• Getting rid of pimples/razor bumps on shaved head by bald Luck14 on 03 Aug, 2014 11:33
• Heys guys, I'm new here, but been shaving my head for about 5 years. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of pimples on bald heads. I get them a lot, and they are annoying.
  
  Is there anything I can do? Someone once told me that sitting in the sun helps dry them out, but I'm not too sure about that.
  
  Thanks

• I always get razor bumps and ingrown hairs on the back of my head after I shave it.  I find that a bit of sun is always helpful to clear them up.  Just be careful and don't forget to use a light sunscreen like like #15.  You want a little sun but you don't want to invite skin cancer

• What shave cream are you using? Do you put anything else on your head? How often do you wash your pillow?

• I have very thick hair and mine are due to folliculitis, which is bacterial like acne, but it's in the hair follicles not the skin.  Using a benzoyl peroxide wash and a good aftershave like clubman pinaud has kept mine pretty clear.

• I use the product from Bee Bald called heal followed by Bee Bald smooth dailyand it works for me.  I helps with the razor bumps and irritation from daily shaving.
  
  Good luck

  I think it depends on your skin.  I tied bump patrol a while back and it seemed to make things worse.  Too oily for my skin and I think it aggravated the pore clogging issues.

  They do one for sensitive skin too.
  
  I have sensitive skin but the ordinary version is fine. You only need a tiny drop too! Been marvellous.

• I had a similar problem.  I use one of those body was scrub sponge things and some body was soap to scrub the top of my dome right after I shave.   Then once out of the shower I apply some generic aloe gel.
  
  Seems to have worked for me.  You might give that a shot.

• Thanks guys for all your great responses. It seems that this is a common problem for many bald men, so I'm glad I asked this question. Maybe the responses will also help others with the same problem.
  
  Thanks
