Relieving Scalp Bumps
If you notice scalp bumps when you are itching your scalp then you most likely have a condition known as scalp dermatitis. Many times mistaken for severe dandruff, dermatitis is similarly treated, but the symptoms are quite different. Instead of just flaking, you may notice bumps which are yellowish in color and sometimes become red scabs.
Treating Scalp Bumps
Dermatitis is a skin and scalp disorder which inflames the skin and can weep fluid. When the fluid dries, it becomes crusty and is what causes the bumps you feel on your scalp.We recommend treating dermatitis on the skin with zinc and tea tree lotion. Zinc is FDA approved for dermatitis treatment. When treating dermatitis on the scalp, shampoos aren't going to be totally effective since they are only in contact for a few moments. We have formulated FlakeFree therapeutic hair gel with the same FDA active ingredients in our therapeutic lotion which stay in continual contact. This provides around the clock therapy, and clears your scalp up much faster than any therapeutic shampoo. As far as recommending a shampoo to add to your scalp therapy, we recommend using a tea tree shampoo. Restoring proper PH levels, and reducing buildup is the main priority of any therapeutic shampoo. The anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antiseptic qualities of FlakeFree therapeutic gel will cure your scalp bumps, and a good tea tree shampoo will keep your PH levels normal. Work FlakeFree gel into your scalp with fingertips preferably after shampooing and style as usual. If the hold FlakeFree provides is not wanted, simply run a comb or brush through your hair after it sets. Use as an everyday styling gel, or when you notice any symptoms returning. Results will be evident within a day or two. Use at least a week or so after symptoms disappear for best results.
