Scalp pimples or acne are generally different to normal facial or other bodily acne. This is because it is the hair follicle that becomes inflamed. There are a few types of scalp pimples, which have varying degrees of intensity, but generally they all have the same pustule type spot which is commonly found when brushing or running your fingers through your hair.
Like other types of acne, scalp pimples can have different causes. Some cases of yeast organisms, mites and staph bacterium often find the scalp an ideal breeding ground, although regular washing with a hypoallergenic shampoo will reduce the risk of infection.
Over the counter medications for acne can be used but may have some adverse effects like discolorization of the hair or even hair loss. If you encounter scalp acne I would recommend seeing a doctor or dermatologist.
We all heard of acne before but how about freckles, boils and carbuncles. It is not far away from acne problem and some of us don’t even know it. Freckles, boils and carbuncles are more like skin disorder that are yucky in certain cases.
I will start off with freckles which it is a brown spot on the skin due to the skin being exposed to the sun. Skins are sensitive to ultra violet rays thus freckles appear on it when we are in the sun for a long time without protection. Freckles are categorized as 6f in the skin disorder chart but it is not consider skin disease. However, there is natural remedy to this disorder. Firstly, Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night, wash your face the next morning. Secondly, Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds, grind in water and apply to the face. Lastly, Make a hole in the watermelon rind and put some grain of rice in it. Take the rice out after a week, grind and apply it to the face.
It is not scientifically proven that stress and pimples are related. However, recent statistics show that adult acne is on the increase. At least half of women and a quarter of men will get adult acne at some point in their lives and we are living in more stressful times so perhaps stress could be a factor causing acne.
Our work places have become more stressful and our social lives tend to be more hectic. Stress levels affect the hormone balance and this in turn can cause toxins which cause acne. Sounds like a bit of vicious circle doesn’t it?
