How can we get rid of it?
Keep dirt and oil off your scalp
Dirt and oil in your scalp is bound to clog the hair follicles and can be a cause of various infections and allergies. Always try to keep your scalp clean to avoid clogging the pores.
Wash oily hair more often
If you have naturally oily hair, which means more sebum in your scalp then you must wash your hair more frequently. Make sure you aren’t too hard on your scalp otherwise excessive dryness might also cause a few breakouts. A clean, fresh scalp is the only way to avoid pimples.
Avoid oiling your hair if you have greasy scalp
Since now we know that clogged pores are the number one reason for scalp pimples then it becomes really important for us to keep oils off our follicles. If you have a greasy scalp then you must avoid putting more oil on it
Rinse shampoo and conditioner properly
If you are someone who doesn’t take their time to rinse products off their scalp then there’s a high chance that the build up is causing scalp pimples on your head. This build up mixes with sweat and dirt in your scalp causing itchiness. Apart from causing scalp pimples, it can also cause inflammation and redness on the scalp
