Zits from your helmet?

Question

It seems my forehead breaks out about a day or 2 after I ride. Oxy10 type of medicine clears it back up again. I wear a full face helmet.

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions about what to do? I already tried washing the liner with soap and water.

Answer 1

I get a lot of irritation when I wear my cap all the time, especially at the browline.

I usually make sure I spray a little antiseptic on it and whatever's there goes away.

My Nolan used to do that, but a liitle spray, no more itch.

Answer 2

puberty sux.

Answer 3

Can happen.  I think all you can do is grow out of it.

Answer 4

More a heat rash than anything else. Like was mentioned, any antiseptic should clear it up. maybe try (against my better judgment) a bandanna or head rag? Cotton may break the irritation from the synthetics used in the bucket itself? I may try it myself as I tend to break out some after a few hours of riding without taking off my protection.

Answer 5

get a do-rag.

keep it clean.
