Scalp acne refers to the pimples and breakouts that develop on the scalp or hairline.
Scalp acne can develop when hair follicles become clogged by a buildup of dead skin cells or excess sebum, which can lead to inflammation in the hair follicle.
Similarly, folliculitis is an inflammation or infection of the hair follicle, the sac that contains the root of the hair. It's usually caused by bacteria (usually staphylococcus) that find their way into the hair follicles from a nearby infection.
The difference is that scalp acne refers to pimples scattered throughout the scalp, whereas folliculitis refers to infections and/or inflammation around the hair follicles
There are several reasons a person’s pores can get clogged or inflamed. It can get clogged if they do not wash their hair frequently or they regularly wear headgear that causes friction against the scalp.
Some people may develop bumps or pimples on their scalp when using certain shampoos, conditioners, or hairsprays. This particular type of breakout is called acne cosmetica, which refers to scalp acne that develops upon using products that come into contact with the hair or skin.
Furthermore, organisms like fungus, mites, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes can also lead to inflammation.
