Acne near hair line on forehead - #10621

I get frequent acne on my forehead near the hairline, with a new breakout almost every week. I’m trying to figure out the cause and how I can reduce or prevent it effectively. Any advice? There are acne marks of it now

Doctors' responses

Acne near the hairline, often termed as “pomade acne”, can be attributed to several factors, including hair products, sweat, or scalp oil mixing and clogging pores. Addressing both the prevention and treatment of these breakouts can be quite practical. Minimizing the use of heavy, greasy hair products or replacing them with non-comedogenic options is often a good start. Choose products labeled “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic” to prevent pore blocking. Additionally, frequent washing of your hair can control the build-up of oils that might be contributing to acne formation. It’s beneficial to tie your hair back if you’re particularly active or sweating a lot, and to wash your face immediately afterward. A regular skincare routine is valuable; using a gentle cleanser twice daily can reduce excessive oil that contributes to acne, followed by a light moisturizer. Introduction of over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may help clear up acne lesions and reduce redness or swelling. Still, be mindful if you have sensitive skin—these products can sometimes cause irritation, so starting with a lower concentration might be wise. For persisting acne, or if the current methods don’t seem effective, consulting a dermatologist who might prescribe topical or oral medications could be warranted. They can help address the acne marks, possibly advising retinoids or other agents that promote skin turnover. Lastly, consistent application of sunscreen is important to protect healing skin and reduce the chances of pigmentation from acne marks. Adjustments to your routine should be introduced gradually and one at a time, as overhauling everything at once might instead irritate the skin further.
