    Ah Fuck.. the same thing happened to me. It pissed me off so much.
    I didn't have any pimples then I got dreads and my forehead looked like a pizza. It's so gross and makes me feel gross. I've found that if you change your pillow case quite often and maybe even tie your dreads back when you sleep or try to keep them off your face it helps. Also, wash your face around your hair line.

    use some tea tree on your face. Your body will adjust to the washing patterns and produce less oil eventually. Its fine to wash your hair daily if you wish to. Use a natural soap which helps dry your scalp if you want. just avoid chemicals.
