This is acne that might not have been seen prior in someone that has suffered from acne and is generally seen or affects the skin when the hair product pomade is used; this is a thick and oily substance that is used in the hair and can cause Pomade acne on the forehead, temple and scalp.
This is because it promotes acne for several reasons; one is that it can clog the pores, due to the thickness of the oil. Another reason is that are other chemicals that can cause comedone acne, along with skin irritation and swelling.
This is a product that people often use to aid in dry scalps and if that is the case it should not be used within an inch of the hairline so that it is unable to clog the facial pores and cause acne outbreaks. These outbreaks of blemishes should clear within weeks of the hair product being kept from the hairline. It is also possible in some cases for certain hairstyles to use the product only on the tips of the hair rather than the entire scalp and this will have no effect on acne flare-ups.
