Acne on head
DayoftheDAWG86:
Im 23 years old and I have a receding hairline, so I went ahead and shaved off all my hair, I noticed on the back of my head I have patches of acne. since then I have constantly washed the affected areas with what me being a guy, thinks is what i should use (exfoliator, and oil remover and so on) I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions to get rid of the acne for good, I always wear a hat, so that doesnt help im sure, once i get rid of the acne I will stop wearing hats, its a catch 22... any suggestions would be great THANK YOU!!

My wife uses a product called Clear.Now acne treatment that works really well. You can learn more about it and buy it here: http://tandm.wwdb.biz/Choices/Health.aspx?P=71 *note that we own the site that I sent you to.
I would also recommend seeing a dermatologist if it's really bad.
Medic aka Rocko:
The best thing I've done for my head (besides shaving it), was to quit using soap. It goes against conventional thinking, but after I stopped, the pimples and infected/ingrown hairs also went away.

Yes! This is a very good recommendation. I use a facial cleanser to wash my head.
Razor X:
I had a similar problem a couple of months ago -- after shaving for over two years. I found that exfoliating helped. I resisted doing it for a while because I thought it would cause more irritation -- and it did make things a little worse in the short run (for the first couple of days). But after a few days of daily exfoliating, it did get better. I now exfoliate about once a week and haven't had any more problems.
There is also a good bump remedy from Male Face that works really well for razor bumps and acne. You can buy it online at www.maleface.com.
Hope this helps.
