Maybe its not the actual wig, perhaps its product on the "hairs". I'm not sure if this is the same as you, however I now know that if I use any type of product on my wig (hairspray, spray gel, lustre spray etc.) especially in the front or face area I get little pimples and sort of a rash thing on my forehead. I hadn't used any product at all for so long and last week I wanted to change the side I wore my part on and I used some hairspray, a couple of days later bumps and pimples appeared! eek!

So for me, I use very gentle stuff, after cleansing my face with a makeup remover I use a cotton ball with witch hazel and gently wipe the entire forehead. I only use it on my forehead because my skin is naturally very dry and I don't want to aggravate it any further. After that I moisturize with 30,000 IU of Vitiman E cream. After 4 days of this the irritation, pimples and bumps are nearly gone. This works for me.......

Kate I'd love to see a shot of you with your new "do"! I actually just got my first headscarf last week and am experimenting in that arena (sorta the opposite of you) :-D

Two words: Proactiv and Neutrogena!!!

I have really oily skin too, and what I have noticed about being bald is that my skin on my scalp ends up being the same type of skin as the skin on my face. I normally don't buy anything off TV, but Proactiv is the only thing I have ever used in years of fighting acne that does exactly what it says it will do! Neutrogena is great for sensitive skin; I tend to alternate between the two and if you look at my pictures on my profile you will see how great it works!
