Guys I need help getting rid of the spots on my bald head. They have been driving me crazy. Can anyone give me some solutions to get my clean dome back? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't think science has come up with an effective freckle remover yet.

Looks like a nicely shaved head.

You may have to see a dermatologist about some bleaching cream, or you may have to give the scalp a chance to tan. Do you wear hats and/or ballcaps a lot?

I've been wearing winter hats. I have been dealing with high blood sugar, so I am wondering if this has caused it, too. I bought some bleaching cream 3% so I hope it works. I'm not vain but I want my clear bald head back.

I have been shaving for 10 years. I just noticed these spots.

Have you been using a new style of razor (like a DE)? My scalp tends to gets irritated whenever I first try a new shaving system, and sometimes will react with red or dark blotches that last a few days.

Post by: SlickChromeDome on April 05, 2015, 03:14:40 PM: Couldn't ever get the hang of DE. This is using a headblade w/4 blade cart in it. I've also tried using Mach 3 and I'll switch back and forth between the two
Title: Re: Blemishes and dark spots.
Post by: Sir Harry on April 05, 2015, 11:40:15 PM: Sometimes trying too many razors can do more harm than good. It's possible that maybe four blades may have been a bit too much.
