I shaved my head bald about two months ago, just so all my hair could grow back evenly. About a week later, I noticed acne starting to appear all around the back of my head. Even when my hair reached its usual length about a month later, acne was still appearing. And i know it wasn’t wise, but I would pop the pimples, then when they grew scabs, i’d pick them off. Now I cut my hair down again about two weeks ago and i noticed about twenty or so small bald spots on the back and top of my head. Is this permanant? Is there something I can do??? My hair is my life!!!
http://www.baldingforum.com/photos/081212_razor.jpgSometimes shavers are not so sanitary and cause pimples or folliculitis. Your skin and scalp naturally contain (normal) bacteria and even the worrisome Staph, which can be a major infection problem that spreads easily. Irritating the skin/scalp with blades or shavers can also introduce the normal bacteria to the skin/scalp, causing local infection and irritation (pimples). So ask yourself is this acne or folliculitis (infection)? You’ll need to see a good dermatologist for the answer to that.
