The first thing I'd check is whether the padding is dirty. It's pretty easy to soak it with sweat, and it's pretty common to get irritated skin from that. And it's a quick easy fix :)
If clean padding doesn't solve the problem, then look at things like lotion and hair stuff.
It's not sweat (I don't sweat much and my helmet is fairly new) and it is the second I put anything on my head. I've always been like that. I do have to watch what hair products I use in my hair as some cause me extreme irritation, even making my scalp break out. Just one of those things I have to grin and bear.
Try wearing a scraf flat over your forehead if nothing else works. I get the exact same dry patches on either side of my forehead when I wear a hat. I hate it, it is like bad dandruff in just two small spots. I think maybe my head doesn't breath well in these two spots or something? good luck!
I've got a Buff which I think is great. I do suffer from patches of dry skin - my right arm being the worst affected. Tried everything to get rid of it. Sometimes the itch drives me up the wall:( Any suggestions to get rid of it???
Aloe Vera gel, specifically the Trader Joe's version. It doesn't feel like lotion going on, but the next day your skin will feel better for it.Quote:

You can get the mineral oil in the intestinal ailments section of your grocery store. Don't use baby oil, which is mineral oil but with scent in it, the mineral oil is better because it lacks the scents and other things.
I have also applied mineral oil directly to an affected area, like your arm.
The Aloe gel might work for people with helmet issues.
