Pimples in the back of the head? and around?

I was also was in the military when i started getting bumps/pimples all over my head. Happened when i went to the middle east and started breaking out .

I have been out now for about 3 years and still have this problem. Have a lot of scarring and pimples that wont go away.

Use alcohol on my head everyday to try to control it but theres weeks were I have major breakouts.

I get really nasty pimples on the back of my head only. Nowhere else. They bleed and form pustules, and no dermatologist seems to know exactly what it is. I have tried about 20 different shampoos (including presription), anti-biotics (pills/topical/etc), and even Neosporin. No such luck. I now have quite a bit of scarring there too. I am considering checking out Proactiv.

It is quite a problem for me because I am military, and have to maintain a short haircut.

Hope a dermatologist chimes in!

Have you ever thought about your diet? what ur eating can cause this too... i know becuz i've had this for over 35yrs..i get it when i eat too much cheese,oil, also foods that contain these products..It's hard to isolate exactly which one is causing it!! my whole family suffers from it..annoying..I haven't been to a hair dresser in years, too embarrassing!! Check out ur diet! Good Luck!

Wheat Allergy. I had them for 10 years very painful. Saw dermatologists and 2 doctors. The I read "Wheat Belly" I quit eating wheat they cleared up in 2 weeks, never to return.

Has anyone took the shot in back of the head? I didn't take it, I went to another doctor who has been giving me natural pills that I have to take to detox. I just hope that everyone who has this problem can get rid of it. I hope my post can help.

Purchase zinc capsules from the store and take with a full class of water. You will see a difference and the bumps will no longer be a problem. :)

isnt that for razor bumps?

i agree with you cause im a heavy drinker

I solved it: too fast absorption of carbs: e.g oats, fruit sugars...

I had them for 10 years. Three months ago I quit eating anything with wheat in it. There gone!

I have the same problem and spent scountless of money for consultations and anti-biotic medicines. I have been so hopless with these bumps on the back of my head that I know now, they are parts of me and learn how to live with them ( Just act as if they were not there).
