What are spots in the hairline?

Pimples can occur pretty much anywhere on the body.

A pimple occurs when your sebaceous glands are clogged. Sebaceous glands lie next to hair follicles and produce sebum (skin oil) that protects and protects your hair and skin.

The glands become clogged when your body produces so much sebum that it cannot move up and out of the skin surface. The blockage results in the glands becoming infected by the skin bacterium propionebacterium, causing inflammation, commonly known as pimples.

The extra large amounts of sebum are broken down by the bacteria and turn into the white matter that can be squeezed out.


Why do you get pimples in your hairline?

When the production of hormones - mainly the male sex hormone androgen - increases in your body, your sebaceous glands are stimulated to increase the production of skin oil as well.

This is why it is quite normal for teenagers in particular to suffer from pimples, because more hormones are produced during puberty.

Pimples typically occur where our skin tends to be the most oily and where we have the most sebaceous glands/hair follicles. Therefore, it's not surprising to suffer from pimples in the hairline.

Internal causes

The causes can be divided into internal and external factors.

Internal factors can be:

  • stress
  • menstruation
  • depression

Pimples are hormonal. The above examples affect the hormonal balance in the body, causing an increase in the body's oil production and contributing to acne on the body.

Genetics

Acne is largely hereditary. If your parents suffered from acne, there is a greater risk that you will also be affected.

The cause is unknown, but it is unfortunately a common tendency.

External causes

External factors also play a role in why you get pimples on your hairline. You can read more about this below.

Skin- and hair products

Pimples in the hairline can be caused by chemicals from hair products. Mousse and sprays can contribute to an excess of oil and skin reactions in the hairline that cause pimples. .

Makeup

Foundation and other make-up can cause a build-up of oils that are not natural to the body.

Not washing your face before going to bed can clog pores and cause pimples.

Hygiene

The hairline and other hairy areas of the body naturally build up oils and dead skin. That's why it's a good idea to remember to practise good hygiene.

Wash your hair and skin regularly - especially after physical activities or in hot weather.

Other causes

Medication can affect the production of hormones in your body, causing pimples. Another cause can be scratching or squeezing your pimples.
