What is the best remedy for head acne?

Answer by  km8738 (1917)

Head acne is a very tricky problem to overcome. You have to figure out the source to counteract the problem. Sometimes the source is your skin being too dry, causing oils to be unable to break through your pores and bubble up. Other times the skin is just too oily.

This would most likely be caused by oily scalp or hair. If your using conditioner, stop or use it every other time you wash your hair. If not, try adding a very! small amount of shower gel to your shampoo, this will dry out your hair and scalp a little. Use acne cream regularly, and stay clean.

Some acne treatments (such as ProActiv) will work over time, but sometimes acne requires antibiotics or hormonal medications. If your acne is serious, you should see a dermatologist.

It is probably due to your shampoo or conditioner. You should try switching to a different shampoo or a conditioner. Try one that is labeled "clarifying" that will be least likely to make you break out. Make sure you rinse really well. You might want to lay off the styling products too until it clears up.

Head acne can be alleviated by rubbing Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar/water on your scalp with a cotton ball. This can be done daily and after washing your head.
