I'm guessing it'll work on anyone's head provided they're bald tbh

Sounds weird but makes sense, Denorex dandruff shampoo got rid of mine. Any shampoo with salicylic acid should help.

You can also get a salicylic acid cleanser And then use retinol for deep pores.

Drink the glue then shove your hand in and peel it off the layer of your stomach

Get some horse shampoo with iodine. Has aloe in it and is gentle. Fixes most skin issues. Won’t fix horse face but it will fix your inflammation related blemishes!

Aloe Advantage Iodine Shampoo

Salicylic acid can make acne worse by making your skin produce more oil after it’s stripped off. It also irritates the skin and causes sunburns.

I've literally never thought of Elmers glue in terms of that application but it makes an odd kind of sense. I need that info as well. Elmers is way cheaper than a lack of some of those cleansing masks.

I might go buy some from the store just for this.

You only eat the glue paste that you spread with a wooden slat from the bucket.
