As if having pimples isn’t enough to deal with, having one crop up in an unusual place can really be annoying. Because these pimples come up in weird places, they may sometimes be confused with boils. There are things you may be doing that are causing them to appear. Treated are those things and how to treat them.
Scalp pimples: Acne on the scalp forms the same way as acne on your face by pore blockage. Not only does the scalp produce sebum that can get trapped in pores and cause blockage, but heavy hair products you use, like serum and spray, can also clog pores. Washing hair frequently enough to prevent buildup is the best way to prevent scalp acne, as is staying away from product formulas that contain thick oils. Avoid the use of hair products containing a lot of oils because it is essential in stopping the proliferation of pimples in your scalp. You may also want to consider using Anti-Dandruff shampoos.
Ears pimples: The ears have many sebaceous glands, which makes them a breeding ground for pimples and when oil from the glands clogs the pores, acne occurs. The best way to prevent bumps is to make sure you’re cleaning your ears out properly, especially after applying any sticky hairstyling products that can leave grime behind. Use a medicated acne pad containing salicylic acid to wipe the outer and inner parts of the ear, be careful not to go too deep into the ear.
Nose pimples: Nostril acne is a known as intranasal acne. This kind of pimple forms inside the nose when a hair follicle becomes irritated or inflamed. One can accidentally invite infection into the area by plucking or clipping nose hairs that in turn irritate the follicle and cause an entry point for infection. Breathing in dirt and dust can also irritate the follicles, but wearing a protective mask over the nose in these kinds of environments can prevent inhalation of particles. Stay away from scratching or shaving inside the nostrils. To treat nostril acne, use an antibiotic nasal spray or apply a topical antibiotic ointment with a cotton bud.
Eyebrow Pimples: Heavy eye shadows and brow gels can cause pimples to crop up in and around the eyebrow, but that’s not the only cause of brow blemishes. Hair products that graze the eye area can also cause breakouts, and people who wax or pluck their brows may see pimples result from irritating the hair follicle in that region. The easiest way to treat eyebrow pimples is with an acne-fighting ingredient that won’t sting or cause irritation around this sensitive area, dab on a spot treatment containing tea tree oil or sulfur, and let it sit overnight. To prevent eyebrow acne, take the time to thoroughly cleanse the area every night as part of your skin-care routine, and keep skin-care products containing heavy oils or petroleum away from the area.
