What is the bump on the scalp?
Is it acne?
It looks like acne, it feels like acne. What can be done about it?
This dilemma faces people every
Acne is commonly seen in outbreaks on the face, arms, back, or chest.
It can, however, appear on other parts of the body. Many people,
having never had an acne breakout in one of those other areas, do not
realize that acne can pop up just about anywhere.
This is because the body has sebaceous glands all over the body!
Acne is really just a skin condition. It can appear anywhere on the
skin. One of the less common locations that it appears is on the
scalp. Anyone who has scalp acne realizes this can be quite annoying,
painful, and even alarming.
Acne on the scalp, in its mildest form, is called scalp folliculitis.
This type of acne often appears or gets worse during stressful times
of life. The scalp becomes oilier than usual and the oil clogs the
hair follicles, resulting in acne.
Of course, if the hair is not washed properly and frequently, the
problem can more easily occur. Use of oily hair care products can also
be a culprit in causing scalp acne....
