After you wash your head, splash it with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Do it 3 or 4 times let it dry between each application. Each time, the skin will tighten a little more and the pores will be more flattened. It works for me. The just wiping it down with water and letting it air dry a couple of times during the day keeps it looking smooth shiny.
Try using witch hazel as an after shave splash.
Try not using the aloe Vera for a while. You may be drying out you scalp , washing 3 times may be excessive. Try using witch hazel as an after shave splash. Sometimes less is better you may be over working the shave routine.on a personal note I rarely use shampoo , l just rinse off the shave soap or cream and have no problem. In the winter if my scalp feels dry I use 2 drops of Shave Secret oil on wet hands and apply to head. Not greasy and adds a shine.
I agree with @Magoo that you should try cutting out the aloe.
No, the dermatologist was not the best (except for taking the money that is) and did not really spend too much time on investigation of the issue. To answer your question - no Folliculitis was not mentioned. Moreover, I have done quite a bit of research on the topic of Folliculitis and it seems that Folliculitis is more aggressive compared to my issue (redness, pain, itchiness, fluid, etc.) none of which are also my symptoms.I am planning to go see another dermatologist soon, but the waiting queue is very long in my country.
