Written by Urvi DalalSep 02, 2019
Acne and acne scars are super annoying as it is, but they are even more so when they appear on the scalp and hairline. This kind of acne is quite uncomfortable and painful.
From failing to remove makeup to hormonal changes, there are various reasons for this skin condition. Below, we have listed some really common reasons why you could be breaking out on the scalp and around the hairline. Read on to find out what they are...
One of the main reasons why you could breaking out around the hairline is the failure to thoroughly remove makeup. Makeup can cause a build-up of oils that aren’t natural to the body. If there is residual makeup around the hairline, it clogs pores and leads to serious breakouts. While removing makeup, tie your hair back to completely expose your hairline to ensure that there is no residue left.
Build-up of hair products
If you are someone who styles their on a regular basis, then that could be one of the reasons why are breaking out on the scalp and hairline area. This is because hair products such as hairsprays, mousse, oils and gels promote excess oil production, contributing to the breakouts.
Headwear
Wearing helmets, hats, bandanas, or headbands can trap sweat and oil in the hairline. This causes a build-up of sweat and oil that may cause acne or pimples on the hairline. If you hit the gym regularly or are a fitness enthusiast, wear a headband to prevent the sweat from trickling down to your temple and face to cause breakout.
Hormonal changes
One of the major contributors of acne and pimples is hormones. Hormonal changes, especially among teenagers and young adults, lead to an increased oil production. This could be one of the major reasons why you could be breaking out on the scalp and around the hairline.
