Scalp Acne believe it or not is quite common. Scalp Acne in the medical community is known as ‘acne necrotica miliaris’ and seems to flourish during times of high stress or when the scalp is oilier than normal. Generally these pimples will take a few weeks or even a month to clear up.

For those that have scalp acne and are looking to speed the healing process, shampoo frequently, apply an acne remedy that contains either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and use a natural herbal supplement such as Clear Pores to help remove your scalp acne from within (note that benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabric). If your scalp acne becomes too itchy you can use an anti-itch product that contains cortisone or wash your hair several times a day with a coal tar shampoo. If any of these methods still prove ineffective, try some of the great products to the left!
