Pomade acne

Pomade acne is a type of acne cosmetica that appears as a group of small bumps close to the hairline on the forehead, frequently seen in black skin.

Pomade acne typically presents with small reddish bumps in pale skin and may look purple-brown in darker skin. Less commonly, it may be seen on the chin and cheeks. It may lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The condition occurs when some of the pomade that is applied to the scalp drips down over the forehead.

Treatment is by discontinuation of occlusive hair pomades, headwear and oils. Other options include applying retinoids or antibiotics.

In the US, pomade acne develops in up to 25% of dark skinned adult males.
