Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
Acne? Razor burn? Help!
MontagDave:
Good suggestions, everyone. Thanks!
I try to remember to exfoliate before I shave, but I admit I have forgotten a few times. :XX
I do use a lotion after I shave. Before I bought HeadLube this weekend, I was just using a scented lotion from Bath and Body Works. I think the HeadLube will be better for me since the other may clog up my pores.
It could be an allergy, but it doesn't itch, and it's just in a few isolated spots not all over my head.
SBG Math Guy:
Hi MontagDave, I am not a doctor but I don't think it's an allergy at all. Like you said, with an allergy
it would most likely itch.
I also had such few spots and to be honest I don't know why they were present. My only educated guess is that
my razor was the problem but I am not 100% sure.
Let us know how things go.
parksie:
I seen on a previous post that you use aloe and headlube.. using them both might be too much moisture for your head.

I was just going to ask this same question. I have been shaving for a couple weeks now and I decided to give my scalp a rest for a couple days and when I shaved I noticed I have a bunch of pimples on the sides of my head. I think I will have to remember some of these things. They dont really hurt or anything, they just look bad and I am going to a water park this weekend so I am going to try and clear them up before then.
D.A.L.U.I.:
My solution for those small bumps was (1) an antibacterial acne soap, two or three times a day--I use Cuticura; (2) using a loofa pad--available at WalMart about $2.50--in the shower every morning, gentle at first and more vigorous as your scalp tolerates it, (3) an astringent all over after drying off after shaving--I use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton pad, (4) a 10% benzoyl peroxide gel w/o any oil rubbed on before my (5) Nivea Extreme Shave Balm. Smooth clear clean. It should take a week or two to completely clear it up.
Keeping it clean is essential, and it's easy because there's no hair of course. Remember, there's no hair to take in all the soot, dirt and other stuff that we used to shampoo out of the hair. Feels good, especially refreshing to wash the dome a couple of times a day if possible, but w/o fail before going to bed.
Works for me and I've had acne issues since puberty--WHY can't I just grow up??? ;D :/O :/O :/O
