Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
Acne? Razor burn? Help!
Mike:
I was noticing this morning when I shaved that no new pimples are showing up. The pimples are just on the sides of my head, not the back or the top or my face. I think it might be my pillow, I thought about that last night and changed my pillow case. So far it looks like its clearing up so I might be mostly pimple free by this weekend.
I have started using peroxide on my acne which always helped when I had pimples on my face.

I was thinking of another possibility, hats. My old cowboy hat didnt fit right since I went Sly so I went and bought a new one. When I got home I started thinking that you cant really wash cowboy hats and I wore it all the time in the summer when my head sweated. All the sweat that builds up in the sweat bands cant be good for a bald head. After thinking about it I threw all of my caps in the wash just to be safe even though I dont wear them much.

I followed along the lines of SaintC's routine.
1. I lathered up with the cuticura mild medicated soap and then exfoliated with a loofa glove (it actually is very convenient around the dome).
2. Post shaving I applied the witch hazel astringent followed by a moisturiser (aveeno).
3. I find putting the benzoyl peroxide on last is best as it causes chaffing or dryness when applied prior to the moisturiser.
All in all the shave was very smooth, even though there are still some pimples floating around. At the moment I give a thumbs up to the cuticura & the loofa for exfoliation. O0
Hopefully, my dome will clear up in 1-2 weeks. All I have to do now is remember to clean it prior to bed when out drinking. :px
Thanks again SaintC for the routine!

You're new exposed scalp probably doesn't like all the crap from your hair that is on the pillowcases. I wash mine at least twice a week. Also the skin on your head has to get used to being scraped. Maybe shave every couple of days until your head toughens up.

this seems like some good preventive measures for combating acne. Sleeping with a towel on the pillow is something I used when I had hair...and I'm using it now. But I think I do need to try to keep that case more clean.

I suffer the same bumps around my hairline. What kind of benzoyl peroxide is recommended? Something over the counter or something prescribed?
Also I've been using some bump fighters like Head Clear. Should I quit that and go with the witch hazel or use in addition to?
I'm very intrigued by the Cuticura that I see some of you recommend. Does it work that well?
Thanks
