Causes

Symptoms

Treatment
The treatment for pomade acne involves discontinuing the use of the offending hair product. Over-the-counter acne treatments may also be used to help clear up the acne. In severe cases, a dermatologist may prescribe a stronger acne medication.
Prevention
Prevention of pomade acne involves avoiding the use of oil-based hair products. Instead, water-based products should be used. It is also important to wash the hair regularly to remove any product buildup.
