Instant Relief From Itchy Scalp Sores Knowpia

Itchy scalp sores can be a very painful affliction. The great news is that they are often entirely curable, and the symptoms can be usually be soothed with a simple, completely natural home remedy that you can knock up in minutes.

As with any affliction, what is essential is to try and find out the root cause of the itchy scalp sores and begin there.

Itchy scalp sores can occur for several reasons. It's often got nothing to do with having dirty, unclean hair (although that is sometimes the case) - it can happen to meticulously clean people. Harsh shampoos and conditioners can cause the scalp to dry out and leave the follicles open to infection (folliculitis). Some other possible causes could be:

· Stress-related - brought on by exhaustion or emotional tension.

· An allergic skin reaction (contact dermatitis).

· Viral infections, such as chickenpox and shingles.

· A skin condition, such as acne.

· A cyst, such as an epidermal or sebaceous cyst, is a sac beneath the outer layer of the skin filled with a greasy white material. These cysts most often appear on the scalp, ears, face, back, or scrotum and are caused by plugged ducts at the site of a hair shaft. Other problems can develop if the cyst becomes infected.

(Please note that every case is different. If you have an extreme case of scalp problems or are worried and uncertain about anything, I would highly recommend you consult your doctor or dermatologist).

The itchiness of your scalp could be caused by the harsh chemicals in your shampoo, as they strip the skin of its natural oils and cause it to dry out and become irritated. Repeatedly scratching your scalp will cause minor wounds and lesions, which can then become infected and become increasingly sore.

I would recommend replacing your current shampoo with a natural one, like a Tea Tree Oil-based shampoo. Tea Tree Oil is a fantastic anti-bacterial and natural anti-inflammatory ingredient that will help soothe your itchy scalp sores and prevent infections.

Birch is another gift from nature that native Americans used to clear up skin irritations. It can be used effectively for modern problems such as psoriasis, eczema, etc. Boil the bark of birch trees in the water strain the mixture, and after cooling, then apply to the scalp to help clear up your itchy scalp sores.

This is a simple natural home remedy that should help soothe the itchy scalp sores and aid the healing process.
