pimples on head and neck

Scalp pimples or scalp acne are not always the same as garden-variety skin pimples. The scalp is, of course, skin, but scalp pimples usually involve the hair follicles, which get inflamed. The disorder can vary in nature and comes under various scientific names.

The cause of scalp pimples is not clear. In certain cases, micro-organisms such as yeast, mites and the dreaded staph bacterium that often thrive in the uniquely suitable host environment of the scalp can lead to scalp pimples.

If you have hair where you neck pimples breakout is, then it may be spreading from the scalp.

Check with a skin doctor for differant treatment then you got before.

Well I have been doing a lot of reserch online about other people with the same problem.  Some said try head and sholders shampoo and it worked for them so I am going to give it a shot. I was trying to use Neutrogena T/Gel therapeutic shampoo and that hasnt worked so any suggestions would certinanly help.  As far as the neck pimples that I have gotten recently no it is not under my hairline its is about a inch lower on my neck. Any thing that you think I could try on my own would be helpful since I recently got layed off work and dont have the money at the time for the doctor.

Thanks in advance JAF
