Thank you so much for this hun, you gave me some hope that that's what's causing my issue. It makes sense, as I've been using a really harsh shampoo. You rock, thank you!
-
Thank you! Beautifully explained!
-
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE was really the cause for my scalp acne! I checked the ingredients of my Herbal Essence (for oily, greasy hair) and I found this. I discontinued to use this product for a week and now I'm free from this crazy scalp acne problem! Thank you, so much!!! :D
-
Thank you! I developed the same thing using the Aussie Shampoo.
-
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I recently got this problem, and when I heard you talk about the drying ingredient in the aussie shampoo, I run to my shower and looked at the ingredients in my head and shoulders shampoo, and what do you know, it was the 3rd ingredient. Time to get some new shampoo!

@3mikoJunji Keep in mind I just looked this up on Wikipedia, but it says that sodium sulfate is used as a filler in detergents (shampoo would count) and for drying out organic compounds. Since it's used for drying, it makes sense that it would also dry out your scalp. I think the Loreal EverPure/EverStrong hair care is sulfate free, so you might try that. I want to say that that's also the ingredient that makes shampoo lather, so this shampoo might night foam up as much.

thanks so much....i had the same problem. switched to head and shoulders itchy scalp version and still have a problem. going to try going with the dove!
-
Do you know if Ammonium Laureth Sulfate or Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate causes this as well? Because I use Aussie Moist Shampoo, and while it doesn't have Sodium Sulfates in it, it has Ammonium Sulfate.
-
Fantastic, thank you.
-
OMG thank you so much ! ! ! ! ! i've had random pimples nd they really hurt and ive been having the same symptoms dry itch scalp and my hair has never been this dry , and when you pulled out the AUSSIE shampoo i was like whattt the !!!!! im using the same brand except im using the moist version so i don't know why it's drying my scalp but either way im switching shampoos thanks ALOT !

i have been using Cetaphil wash for 3 months and works really good for my scalp.

@Makeupforever1996 You're welcome! I'm glad it helped! :)

As a dude who's endured and contended with cranium zits for the better part of two decades(aka: my entire life), I've found great relief via Tea Tree shampoo.Can be pricey by comparison, but it's easily accessible(SuperCuts always has it handy)and with only an occasional dab required, it's well worth the purchase.

Thanks for the research....
-
@watever328 Then the bad might still cause a problem. The Aussie one has both the good and the bad and I still had problems. I think the "good" one is in every single shampoo and the "bad" one is only in some, and those are the ones that can give you acne. If you don't get a bad reaction though then I wouldn't worry about it. This is just if you're having a problem.

I use Assie shampoo as well and I have scalp acne. I'm glad I found this!! Thanks. 👌🏼

thanks for sharing about scalp acne

I just noticed some red bumps and looked it up on-line. It may also be the result of a fungus, ringworm of the head, which requires antifungal soap and powder. Or it could be a staph-related foliculitis, which requires and antibiotic. Don't feel odd. This is a common problem.
-
What if id doesn't have either but it has ammonium laureth sulfate?
-
i was wanting to know what type of shampoo works for you. I am having the same issue
