Welcome to EmpowHER. Avoiding oily products is a good preventative measure against scalp acne. Styling products sometimes contain oils that can aggravate acne. Styling products can also contain other irritating ingredients.Some hair conditioners also contain heavy humectants which can irritate acne-prone skin. Again, if you’re struggling with scalp acne, try using only a gentle shampoo for your hair and not using conditioner for a week or two and see if that helps. Also some people believe that shampooing with a antidandruff shampoo can help. You need to discuss with a dermatologist on finding the right treatment for you.
