Question:
A few months into my scalp grew a big pimple. It was very disturbing, because it was itchy and if broken will leave marks such as dandruff, and if hitting the comb becomes smarting. Actually, does acne is not dangerous? How do I fix this problem?

If you are still experiencing the same problem, try to change your shampoo and conditioner products.
