Try this, it does more than you think. Teatree oil is a natural antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal. The bumps may be coming from scratching excessively.

Your scalp may not be infected, it may be just that your skin is getting used to your hair being pulled that way. My scalp itched heaps too but it settled down after a few days.

if the teatree dosent work..it shud but if you do have a fungal problem there is a shampoo called nioxin it works really well.

i doubt its a fungal prob at 9 days its ftrom whatever method was used all the hair pulling and all that the bs wash will help but really your scalps just angry from the abuse it will settle down and adjust

does it make it worse if you scratch? i had a similar issue but i just exfoliated really well and was more cautious of rinsing my dreads

scratching can ritate t more but hard to stop yourself pepermint oil will cool the itch

Knotty boy anti itch and scalp inflammatory spray. its like 8 bucks i think for the 4 oz container.

u realizethat is just pepermint oil and other herbs u can make your own for like 1/4 the price and get twice as much
