Acne along side locks to jaw line
There has been an occasional out burst of acne/ heatboils not sure, starting from side locks extending along the jaw line, some areas of scalp as well, usually during the summers and monsoon. Last for few days to few weeks, painful in nature- I have been using ointment from Erytop which subdued the problem but it keeps coming back.
