Healthy Skin Care : How to Treat Acne
How can I clear up pimples?
My face is pretty clear at the moment, except for two rather noticeable zits. One I can cover with makeup, but the other one is one of those big zits that form under the surface of the skin and makes the skin red. It’s on my chin. How can I treat that one? I get them every once in awhile and they take forever to go away. Any suggestions?
Your face will some times do that when you are on your period dear.
It is because the change in hormone.
If you are not on your period then you need to stay away from junk food for awhile and see if that helps.
Also Proactive works great.
My niece just got it a few weeks ago and her face is so clear now.
Good luck.

What Is Scalp Acne?
Scalp Acne is acne that develops on the skin under your hair, also known as your scalp. It is not nearly as common as the typical acne on the face, shoulders and upper arms, but it does affect a lot of people with other types of acne.
Scalp Acne isn’t as visible as acne in other places, particularly the face. While that’s great news, it also makes it somewhat harder to treat and keep clean. The sore bumps and cysts can also make daily hair care and styling painful.
Like any other type of acne, scalp acne is caused by bacteria that grow on the inside of pores that get clogged with oil and dead skin cells (or other small dirt particles). As the bacteria grow, they produce swollen, red and infected areas.
How To Treat Scalp Acne
Scalp Acne can be treated very much like any other form of acne. Start by drinking plenty of water and eating healthy. Avoid foods that are known acne triggers such as chocolate, potato chips and greasy foods in general.
Keep your scalp clean by washing your hair daily with a very mild shampoo to keep the oil on your scalp at bay. Don’t use a harsh shampoo (for oily hair). It could backfire on you by causing your skin to produce more oil.
Tea tree oil does wonders for your scalp. Make a solution of tea tree oil, a little lavender oil and olive oil and use it like any shampoo. Both tea tree oil and lavender have antiseptic properties that will help clear up any infections on your scalp.
You can also dip a cotton ball in a skin cleanser containing salicylic acid and apply on the acne area.
Do not use any acne cream/oil containing benzoil peroxide or other peroxide ingredients on the scalp because it may change the color of your hair. This is particularly important if you have colored or treated hair.
