Pimples, unsightly pimples – that is how acne manifests itself. If left untreated, it may leave scars on the face or body, which are difficult to remove. What is more, acne can also appear on the scalp. Why exactly in such a place? And what can be done to get rid of it once and for all?
Do you notice pimples on your scalp while washing or combing your hair? They may be a symptom of so-called scalp acne. Suddenly, you find yourself asking: Where did these pimples actually come from?
The process of pimple formation is complex. In most cases, blackheads, or simply put, dead skin on the scalp, are the basis for unsightly pimples. This inflammation of the scalp is accompanied by other symptoms such as dandruff, excessive scalp and hair greasiness and seborrhea. The symptoms must not be underestimated and must be treated as soon as possible.

In addition, stress as well as the use of inappropriate products for scalp and hair care may be responsible for acne on the scalp.

The next step is to choose the right cosmetics for washing your head. You should opt for natural shampoos without parabens and silicones because these chemical ingredients additionally dry out the scalp and may irritate it more
A popular home remedy to try to get rid of pimples from your scalp is aloe vera wraps, or rather, washing your scalp daily with aloe vera juice. This treatment will definitely help to alleviate the inflammation. Rinses made from other herbs, such as chamomile, may also help
What if home remedies do not help to get rid of scalp acne? Then you should undergo specialist treatment. The doctor will help us choose the method of treatment, he may prescribe antibacterial ointments for topical application.
