To prevent scalp folliculitis, apply oil to the scalp, not hair, and avoid leaving it on for more than an hour before washing.
Regular scalp washes
It is recommended to use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo when your scalp feels oily and greasy.
Warm compress
Applying a warm, damp cloth to the affected areas can effectively alleviate pain and inflammation.
Avoid hair products
Some hair products such as heavy conditioners and styling gels, can cause acne.
Dietary considerations
Some individuals believe that reducing dairy and high-glycemic foods may improve scalp acne, although there is limited scientific evidence supporting this claim.
