Pimples on Scalp, Causes and Treatment

May 14, 2019December 18, 2011 by Alison

Pimples are a common disorder of the skin that can occur almost anywhere on the face or body.

Pimples on scalp can be folliculitis, caused by bacteria in the follicles causing infection. If you have hair on your head, it is easy to damage these pimples when combing or brushing your hair and if you do not have hair on your head, they can become an embarrassment as well as being very uncomfortable.

Follow our advice to get rid of this problem, fast!

What Causes Pimples on the Scalp?

resist picking at pimples on scalp to avoid an infection

The reason that pimples develop on the scalp is almost always the same as with those that occur elsewhere, blocked pores.

Pores become blocked with dead skin cells and sebum and this provides a breeding ground for the acne bacteria that cause inflammation and irritation.

Scalp acne can also be triggered by sweating after exercise or shaving your head.

Prevention of Scalp Pimples

Keeping in mind the causes of pimples, maintaining proper hygiene is of paramount importance. Using a shampoo or treatment product containing salicylic acid (which is an acne medication that is also found in many medicated and anti-dandruff shampoos), will gently exfoliate your scalp and lessen the likelihood of pores becoming blocked with dead skin cells. This also helps to reduce excess oil formation on the skin which will not only reduce pimples, but will also help with the inflammation on your scalp. It is also a good idea to minimize the use of conditioners or choose your conditioner very carefully as these do tend to clog the pores.

Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo is an inexpensive salicylic acid shampoo and is available at a great price from Amazon (follow the link to visit the product page).

If you just have the occasional scalp pimple, you could use a salicylic acid toner on a cotton bud, followed by a dab of treatment cream applied in the same manner.

Tip:- Do not use products containing Benzoyl Peroxide on your scalp if you have hair on your head as it can bleach your hair!

Changing the diet may also contribute to lowering excess oil production on the skin of the face and scalp. Other preventive measures for pimples include taking plenty of water to keep the skin properly hydrated and to flush out toxin. Getting sufficient sleep and avoiding stress as much as possible will also help with all forms of acne.

In addition, make sure that you shower and wash your scalp after any strenuous activity that has caused you to perspire as sweat can block pores and make the problem worse.

Photorejuvenation Treatment For Pimples And Acne

May 14, 2019November 26, 2011 by Alison

Photorejuvenation is a method of pimple treatment that is gaining in popularity amongst those who suffer from acne.

It is an incredible figure but statistics show that close to $4 billion is spent on various different acne treatments worldwide, every year.

Much of this total is spent on treatments and medications that have quite unpleasant side effects for many users and many users of these treatments find that the benefit they see in their skin really is not worth the side effects they have to endure.

We all want to have great-looking skin and especially for teenagers and young adults who are particularly vulnerable to skin breakouts due to hormonal changes, a remedy for acne pimples and blemishes which works fast without side-effects is bound to be popular. Photorejuvenation definitely fits the bill. It is excellent as a blemish and pimple treatment as well as fading scars and skin-staining marks from previous outbreaks.

What is IPL Photorejuvenation?

Photorejuvenation light therapy treatment delivers pulses of light and uses different wavelengths that are effective on different layers of the skin and different types of blemishes.

Effectively, the different wavelengths are represented by light of different colours and this is why you will see blue light, or red light treatments or combination treatments advertised.

Blue light is the type specifically used to treat acne as it destroys the bacteria that cause the problem. It also has a comforting and soothing effect on your skin. Red light has the effect of promoting the circulation of blood beneath the skin surface.

Of course, these two lights are part of the visible spectrum and do not penetrate far into the skin, only up to about ten millimetres. This makes it particularly effective at treating surface problems such as acne blemishes and scars. The fine beams of light destroy their target skin cells, resulting in the generation of new skin cells, producing the rejuvenating effect. The treatment is aimed at the layers below the skin surface so it is not abrasive on the skin.

A treatment of photo rejuvenation also includes light from the invisible end of the spectrum and this lighe will penetrate much more deeply and it is this long-wavelength light which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin within the skin which is why it is called rejuvenation treatment – because it leads to the skin looking (and behaving), like younger, more youthful skin.

This type of pimple treatment is entirely safe provided that either you have your treatments dispensed by a dermatologist or beautician who will abide by all the necessary safety guidelines or, that you follow all the instructions very carefully if you purchase a home treatment system. There are several really good ones available which can definitely save you a lot of money when compared with the cost of salon treatments. As mentioned though, it is very important to follow the directions and wear appropriate eye protection as blue light will damage the eyes, leading to a condition known as macular degeneration if you do now wear the safety goggles recommended.
