Scalp Acne Treatment

Scalp Acne can be treated very much like any other form of acne. Start by drinking plenty of water and eating healthy. Avoid foods that are known acne triggers such as  chocolate, potato chips and other greasy foods.

Keep your scalp clean by washing your hair daily with a very mild shampoo to keep the oil on your scalp at bay. Don't use a harsh shampoo (for oily hair). It could backfire on you by causing your skin to produce more oil.

Do not use any acne cream/oil containing benzoil peroxide or other peroxide ingredients on the scalp because it may change the color of your hair. This is particularly important if you have colored or treated hair.

Tea tree oil does wonders for your scalp as well. Make a solution of tea tree oil, a little lavender oil and olive oil and use it like any shampoo. Both tea tree oil and lavender have antiseptic properties that will help clear up any infections on your scalp.
