pomade acne


Pomades are greasy preparations used in hair creams. The rash is similar to cosmetic acne but consists of non-inflamed lesions around the forehead and other areas where greasy pomades may extend onto the hairless skin. It may also coexist with acne vulgaris. The rabbit-ear model has shown that certain pomades are comedogenic. Restriction of the use of pomades is essential.
