Scalp Pimples

Scalp pimples and bumps can be caused by a wide variety of things, notthe least of which are allergic reactions to the harsh chemicals (in shampoo, conditioner, hair treatments or dyes). In addition(specifically in males) these pimples can be caused by an over-abundance of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in his scalp.


Needless to say, simply experimenting with other hair treatments would be the obvious course of action if you suspect allergies, but to combat a DHT problem one should consult a dermatologist and obtain dihydrotestosterone inhibitor such as Propecia that can be applied like a cream or shampoo.

Another possibility for scalp pimples (regardless of gender) is an excess of dirt or bacteria build up on the follicle stem or root of the hair. I realize you are probably a very hygienic minded individual but sometimes,no matter what we do to try and keep ourselves clean and bacteria-free, infection on the scalp or follicle root can and sometimes does occur in just about every human being at one time or another in the course of their lives.

The solution scalp pimples may be as simple as picking up an over-the-counter medicated shampoo that has some kind of antibacterial properties. One that also contains tar, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, sulfur, and/or salicylic acid may be particularly helpful but of course your local pharmacist will probably be delighted to educate
you about these options further.  Be safe and consult your pharmacist or physician first..
