Q21
Can gentle cleansing treat scalp pimples?
No, care should not and cannot assume the function of "removing acne". Scalp folliculitis requires anti-infective treatment (PMID 40230058), and the care only involves gentle cleansing and relieving daily discomfort; the promotion of "detoxification" and "acne clearing" services are exaggerated and deserve caution.
To judge whether an organization is trustworthy, you can see whether it is willing to take the initiative to explain this boundary: if you have repeated acne, you should seek medical treatment, no care will be provided during the inflammation period, and cleaning services will avoid affected areas. Institutions that can clearly explain "what they can't do" are more trustworthy.
