How to Treat Scalp Acne Naturally

Skin conditions are not simply a problem for teenagers. A problem like scalp acne can afflict anyone no matter what the age. While the name is scalp acne, this skin condition can affect other areas of the body like the face, armpits and legs. For less severe scalp acne problems, there are ways to treat scalp acne naturally, provided a person understands the necessary steps.

Things You'll Need

• Soda water
• White vinegar
• Baby powder
• Baby shampoo
• Natural shampoo

Instructions

1. Wash your hair thoroughly with soda water. It may sound odd but soda water helps dry out the infected area if you run some over the scalp. Then let it soak in for a few minutes and then wash out the soda water. Shampoo and rinse the soda water out of your hair.

2. Use white vinegar to rinse your hair before taking your shower. Follow the same steps as you did with the soda water. After using the white vinegar, you may want to shampoo the hair with baby shampoo to get the smell out of your hair.

3. Sprinkle a handful of baby powder in your hair and on the scalp. Then, massage the baby powder into scalp. Let it sink into your scalp for at least a few hours. Be sure to do this when you have nothing on you social calendar.

4. Shampoo you hair with natural products. Harsh chemicals can cause scalp acne and using milder natural shampoos can help eliminate or deter an outbreak. This is after using the previous 3 steps to get the scalp acne problem under control. If the problem persists or gets worse, see a dermatologist for further treatment.
