Scalp Acne

by Cherie Lane

I have no flaking, just a lot of itching, especially when I lay down at night, around the back of the head and behind my ears and pressure points, since I wear glasses to read. Also during the day when I wear sunglasses, it itches more behind the ear than other places. I do get bumps like I got when I was younger, not pimples, but like blind pimples - I call stress bumps. They only hurt but never turn into pimples. The bumps come and go but the itching is forever. I'm 66 and have had my hormones checked and am supplementing accordingly. I take vitamins including biotin and have a protein shake everyday. I've read info that leads me to believe I could have "scalp acne" so my dermatologist recommended an antibiotic Doxycycl for a bacterial infection and Neutragena T-Sal shampoo. Ever heard of anything like this? Any suggestions?

Hello Cherie,

We have a number of customers who have similar symptoms as you have described. This scalp condition results in transient stress bumps that hurt terribly and the scalp is almost continually and uncontrollably itchy. You should know that Doxycycline is a drug that is a member of the tetracycline antibiotics group and is commonly used to treat a variety of infections. Common Doxycycline side effects include diarrhea, skin reaction to sunlight, unexplained rash, watery diarrhea or fever, liver damage, allergic reaction, or vision changes. You also mentioned Neutragena T-Sal shampoo which contains salicylic acid which is a keratolytic (peeling agent). Salicylic acid causes shedding of the outer layer of skin and can cause serious irritation as well as shortness of breath, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, face, or tongue or hives in some people.

I strongly recommend the following for your particular condition: At night before bedtime, rub in our specially formulated therapeutic DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the parts of the scalp affected to relieve itching and inflammation. This double strength formula is all natural and penetrates the thicker skin of the scalp deeper and faster. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue.

Next, wash their hair and scalp with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which is hypo-allergenic and filled with nutrients. These 2 products, together, will unpack dry skin cells in the deepest part of the scalp and restore much needed moisture and regain a healthy balance once again. They will also stop any itching and provide anti bacteria, anti microbial and anti fungal protection while working.

Once your scalp condition is repaired you need only use the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT to keep your scalp healthy and problem free.

Please keep me posted on their progress Cherie.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
