ok so its been a long time since i had new dreads...and i dont remember if this happend last time or notso im a lil over a month into it and along my forehead at like hairline and the sides of my face have these tiny lil bumps its not like full blown zits or something but i assume its some kind of acne now i did not have this problem before i started dreading again. i do not use oil,gel,products etc,i wash only once a week with bronners and every other day baking soda acv. so wat the heck could this be from anyone else have this and wat are some good natural things i could use to help with this? could it be from my hair constantly touching these parts of my face now? idk any input or suggestions would be helpful.

yeah ive never waxed a dread in my life i do use salt water spray and leave it in maybe thats drying stuff out and actually causing excess oil production...ill try tea tree and stop leaving the salt in for a while and see if it helps soaringeagle said:

I've had a similar problem as of late (only I never used salt water sprays, I always went with aloe juice instead, Much easier on the scalp!), but there's also been a bit more stress than usual in my life. I've found that as long as I wash my face everyday with Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree soap (I use the bar form) that it tends to keep the acne at bay.

I don't have facial acne but do have some mild back acne now!Lemon oil is good for balancing oily skin.You could melt some raw shea butter down and add the lemon oil to that and let it cool (obviously lol) and put a light layer on before going to bed.
