So for the past month or two I've been getting big painful pustules on the side of my eyes near my hairline. It's right below the temple area. I wear glasses and the area that's affected in under the side parts of the glasses.. if that makes sense. This hasn't happened before and it's annoying. I have kind of long side bangs rather than sideburns but I've had it for awhile and only recently have I been having this problem. I started using a conditioner a few months ago cause of my dry tangly hair but I've been making sure I only condition the back and top of my head, which is where I've been having the problem. Maybe I SHOULD condition the side hair? Any ideas what's going on?

Hmmm.. it could be the conditioner - it does leave a residue that could be getting on your skin. Do you wash your face after you rinse out the conditioner? Do you use the conditioner in the morning or do you wash your hair before you go to bed? Do you use any styling products - gels or sprays?

Hair products can also rub off on your pillowcase, so make sure you change your pillowcase regularly.

Yeah I wash my face after the conditioner and I make sure to clean tthat area nicely. I also shower at night, dry my hair before sleeping, and change my pillowcase a least 1x week.

It might be that the conditioner is coming in contact with your skin since you are showering in the evening and then going to bed - your hair rubs on your face and the conditioner residue ends up on your pillow. It might help to shower in the morning instead, if that is an option for you.

Do you use any hair gels or sprays?
