I never use to have this problem of getting acne on the back of my neck until a couple of years ago when I was in college and started drinking. My face typically never has any but I couldn't figure out why I was getting this and reading about some alcohol side effects and the timing of this it really makes sense. Iv had this problem for almost two years which is the same time I started drinking. I did notice where there was roughly a month - two months where I didn't drink at all and don't recall have any bumps on the back of my head during that time. Guess we gotta kick the booze. Oh well. Healthy skin. Healthy liver. Save some money. Seems worth it.

nope, I DO NOT drink beer or liquor, and i get these bumps as of 07 aswell

The clean and clear face wash with Benz peroxide works for my head. That an a wash cloth soaked with alcohol after a hot shower. Switch between the two daily.

I had this problem for several years. I tried everything. I saw more than one dermatologist. I used numerous shampoos and a few antibiotics. Nothing worked for long. It always came back.

Try drying the back of your head with a hair blow dryer after showering. Dry it thoroughly and consistently for a week or two. It improved my condition substantially.

I suspect the following bacteria is to blame is my case:

Hey guys, im glad to know that I am not the only person suffering with this terrible condition. Mine started out from the time I was 20, I am now 27 and after numerous visits to the dermo, anti biotics and creams, I still have acne at the back of my head. My dermo would tell me that it could be that I sweat from the back or that I cut my hair too short...but the acne would still come up while my hair was long...so I dont understand. The antibiotics I have used are Purbac and tetralysal... In most occasions, I was told to use them for a period of 3 months or so. It would work and I'd feel so much better but give it a few weeks after the treatment was done and they would re-appear. In the last few months, I have been taking an antibiotic on my own account (purbac)...just the other day the bottle was empty and what do you know... the acne came back. At this stage I am so frustrated because it really affects my everyday life... besides the pain, I am embarrased that people would see the red spots and question me. I somehow feel that this problem could be internal but have no clue on what is the next step to take.

make sure that your pillows and sheets are clean and use mild soap. sometimes it gets unbearably itchy specially since it is always in contact with your hair. don't scratch it, and make sure that you always use mild shampoo

Denorex shampoo works fantastic for me

i have tried changing shampoos and this does not work

i tried shampoo changes   that does not wor

Hi all,

I've had this problem for about 2 years now.  I'm 43 and have plenty of stress in my life lately.  I've been to the dermatologist and he prescribed doxycycline hyclate, which I quit taking due to the obvious fact that it's terrible in the long run.  He suggested I might have to take it in maintenance doses for a very long time, which I was surprised to hear from a 'doctor.'  Anyway, like all of you, I google'd a lot.  Found suggestions regarding gluten.  I decided to give it a try and sure enough, cutting gluten did help quite a bit, but I still had breakouts, albeit less often.  I also cut beer out and that also helped.  I still felt like it was occurring too often for such drastic changes in diet, etc.  I then tried vitamins... specifically B-complex, D and a multi-vitamin from Costco for "Hair, Skin and Nails."  I take one of each in the morning and then again in the evening.  The difference has been huge.  Before, I used to get these inflamations which would last for days and would be incredibly painful.  Now I just get the occasional minor pimple which lasts a day or two.  I have noticed that these still occasional pimples cooincide with times where I eat something not so healthy (ex: french fries... the oil is contaminated with whatever else has been deep fried in it).

So in summary... 1) do your best to cut out crappy foods, especially gluten.  2) stay away from restaurant deep fried foods.  3) use B-complex, D and E (look for the Costco 'skin/hair/nails' vitamin) twice a day.  Your body only absorbs a percentage of the B-complex, so even if it says once a day, do it twice.

I hope this helps somebody out there.

GO SEE A DOCTOR! STOP SELF DIAGNOSING

I drink no beer. I used to get only when I drank coke. But hand had that in a while. Usually would come then go. But no its on going.. trying to figure what I am doing different

I agree with the guy above. I also started using bump stopper 2 after seeing it at Wal-Mart maybe a year or so ago. I put it on usually once or twice per day usually immediately after taking a shower. I saw change within 2-3 days. sh*t works wonders. I'm using profanity to let you know this a real guy :))))
