Scalp Infections - Symptoms, Causes & Natural Options For Fast Relief & Treatment

Tree Allergies

There are many definitions and symptoms commonly described as "scalp infections". There are in fact quite a few quite different reasons why your scalp may be sore, itchy, inflamed burning red or infected. If you are like many people with chronic scalp issues - it may be driving you completely up the wall and not knowing what it is or how to treat the problem effectively after many unsuccessful attempts to eliminate it can make it seem far worse - like you are never going to get to the bottom of the problem. Well that need no longer be so! It can be simple to diagnose and treat it now and for good.

Tree Allergies

So if you are dealing with any of these symptoms lets first identify the problem and then some of the underlying causes.

Tree Allergies

Firstly, if you want to get to the root of your problems, so to speak, you need to be able to identify what your problem actually is. Of course, many scalp infections & conditions look alike, so here is a brief description of some of the most common scalp conditions:

Tree Allergies

Red burning itchy scalp can be characterized as any tingling,burning, prickly, and sensitive to the touch or a fiery hot sensation. Often associated with an allergy, sunburn, chemical burn (sensitization of the scalp),or fungal infection.

Dandruff as most of us know is the process of continual shedding of skin cells on our scalps. Often the cause of dandruff is simply the result of toxins, pollutants and products that have built up on the scalp particularly products like silicone- a cheap commonly used artificial shine enhancer in conditioners sold in supermarkets.

When the natural balance of our scalps is disturbed, this creates the perfect environment for the yeast fungus Melassezia Globbosa to move in and thrive. This is when the natural process of shedding our cells gets a little out of hand resulting in an unsightly condition known as "Seborrhoeic Dermatitis" (fancy name for dandruff) and we see the highly visible tell-tale signs of flaking and crusting.

The accompanying itch and urge to scratch are often made worse by the multiplication of the fungal yeast pityrosporum-ovale (having one big party on your scalp). Another follow on effect of this is that the relentless scratching by the sufferer can cause small lesions which weep and ooze or become infected resulting in scalp infections.

Lumps bumps and sores are also common when the scalp is highly irritated or sensitivity has been aggravated. Candida can be an underlying cause of yeast infections of the scalp.

Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitols) is a superficial fungal infection of the scalp. Scalp ringworm is caused by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes. Ringworm infection occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails. It is far more common in children and symptoms include red, itchy patches on the scalp, leaving bald areas. The skin might itch and be red and peel or be scaly, have swollen blisters or a rash (that can spread) and looks like black dots. The rash is highly contagious. It is normally treated with over the counter products containing miconazole, clotrimazole, or similar. Sometimes prescription anti fungal skin medications, such as ketoconazole are needed to clear it up. There are also products direct from nature's factories that can aid the healing process and act as natural antibiotics, although it must be said that ringworm is an aggressive fungus which needs to be monitored closely and treated accordingly.

Dry scalp can feel "tight", a sensation that is sometimes accompanied by flakiness. It is often the result of natural oils being stripped from our scalps by the frequent use of shampoos, hair dyes and or other hair products.

Dermatitis of the scalp (Seborrheic dermatitis) is an inflammatory disorder affecting areas of the head and body where sebaceous glands are most prominent. It can vary from mild dandruff to dense flakey and greasy scale. Once again it is often an accumulation of toxins and products built up on our scalps that our body is trying to rid itself of.

Eczema of the scalp similar in appearance to Seborrheic dermatitis but instead has the name Atopic dermatitis.

Scalp Psoriasis commonly occurs on the back of the head however multiple areas of the scalp or the whole scalp may be affected. Scalp psoriasis is characterized by thick silvery white scales on patches of very red skin and can extend slightly beyond the hairline. Scalp psoriasis, despite being partially hidden by the hair is often a source of social embarrassment due to flaking of the scale and severe 'dandruff'. Scalp psoriasis may be extremely itchy or on occasion have no itch symptoms. It can also cause temporary baldness on the affected areas. It is a common, chronic, inflammatory skin disease and is associated with increased risk of melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

Folliculitis of the scalp is a superficial bacterial infection of the hair follicles. It is characterized by pustules around the hair follicles and symptoms include painful brushing of hair and tenderness when rubbing your scalp around the hair follicle sites. Treating with antibiotics for the particular bacteria is the usual course of action but can eventually cause resistance to the antibiotic used. Options include applying Evoclin Foam which is topical. Folliculitis is commonly caused by staph bacteria which also reside inside the nose and sinus cavity. Natural oils such as tea tree and lavender have good antibacterial properties and can also be used to treat this condition.

If you have a bump or lump under the skin (commonly a lump behind the ears with no broken skin or rash developing, then this could be a cyst. Cysts are liquid filled pustules which can be painful when they become infected. If you have such symptoms I recommend seeing a doctor to be safe. Doctors can also treat cysts with antibiotics if they have become infected or incise them as a further but uncommon procedure if the antibiotics are not sufficient.

Stress Related Itching Stress can contribute to or worsen scalp itching as it plays havoc with our immune system and hormones which have an effect on production of sebum from your sebaceous glands. Although it can contribute to the problem it is still somewhat of a myth. It may appear that you have a"stress rash", but it is more likely that the problem was already there in a less noticeable way, then aggravated by increased stress levels making it harder for your body to deal with the problem on its own and eliminate the problem. Many of the treatments below include stress relieving properties - like Lavender oil for example which calms the mind and soothes the body.

Solutions - what YOU can do about it

Going to your doctor may be the best way to get an accurate answer to diagnosing your problem, but I understand that many of you may have already done this, been prescribed some form of medication of cream (even "heavy duty" cortisone based ones where the cortisone potency may need to be increased after time).

Often the problem either doesn't go away from the start - or seems to subside but comes back with full a vengeance later leaving you wondering with more unanswered questions and a VERY unhappy scalp! Well the good news is if you don't like using these expensive and often impotent products- or even want to help them along you can use natural remedies and essential oils known to be super effective anti-bacterial busters such as tea tree oil for instance to inhibit or stop the growth of the infection and assist healing/re balancing of the scalp.

Something that is also important to understand in curing scalp conditions and scalp infections - a factor that is missed by so many doctors, and something not disclosed by companies who sell hair products and treatments is the number of people who are allergic or sensitive to commonly used ingredients in shampoos, dandruff treatments and other hair products. In fact MOST hair products (as many as 90%) contain at least one ingredient that is used in engine degreasers, another is a common ingredient in antifreeze.

These ingredients are cheap to produce foaming agents that make shampoo foam up, and do a fantastic job of stripping dirt and oily build up from hair. Problem is that they sometimes do SUCH a good job that they remove all of the natural oils and sebum from the scalp thus removing the scalps natural against bacteria etc. Another little known fact is that the most common ingredient (Sodium laureth sulphate) is used to induce skin irritation in test patients by drug companies to test the effectiveness of their itch relief skin creams. When first produced and for year's afterwards manufacturers did not know that skin was not a barrier but an absorber of ingredients & that they caused skin irritation in so many people.

So sometimes the beginning of a scalp condition can have originated from something as simple as an imbalance to the skins (scalps) sebum or an allergy to an ingredient that can easily be rectified.

Like your immune system, if your skin has an opportunity to rebalance itself and not be subjected to "incoming foreign matter" and the daily stripping of its natural oils that further aggravates the problem you can allow your body to re balance and heal itself. Obviously buying products that do not strip your hair and scalp is an obvious step in the right direction.

Fortunately there are a lot of manufacturers such as Aveda and Akin (Purist Company) who know what consumers are suffering from these issues so have addressed this problem. They have applied this knowledge to produce some amazing products with all of the benefits of natural ingredients, with none of the side effects at a price we can afford (Akin especially). It need not be difficult, nor expensive to make these choices and a move to healthy hair and scalp long term.

So yes you can eliminate harsh shampoos containing sodium sulphates and go for natural Sulphate and paraben free shampoos that contain ingredients such as macadamia, wheat germ or jojoba oils. These oils mimic our natural sebum to some extent to help to re moisturize and nourish our scalp.

Then there are lavender, rosemary and tea tree oils which contain antibacterial, healing properties. Neem oil great for its antiquing and stops itching. You can apply these topically to your skin for fast relief, to assist healing as well as looking out for shampoos with these natural ingredients in them.

Lavender calms the skin (as does chamomile tea cooled and used as hair rinse).
As well as buying quality shampoos containing these ingredients, you can
create your own combinations of remedy or remedies to soothe your scalp.
You can also help it along by using natural remedies to treat your scalp such as this scalp treatment containing natural oils to assist healing, detoxify and stimulate hair growth: (Add to
water (4 parts water 1part oil) and spray onto scalp and you can add to your shampoo and conditioners also).

Oils To Relieve Itching: Lavender, German Chamomile and Eucalyptus Oils
(Mixed together and dabbed locally on effected areas has a soothing effect).

Neem oil is also a very good dandruff preventative which can be added to any of the formulas detailed below and is excellent for psoriasis and eczema & scalp infections.

Scalp massage with lavender oil (not scented - the real oil) is another
wonderful way to relieve the tension from a sore scalp as well as treat the
issue. It also helps to re grow hair and repair the damage done to your
follicles by chemicals in shampoos causing thinning hair. (Lavender is known to stimulate hair growth too).

There are many more powerful scalp remedies you can use to treat your scalp as well as many shampoos that are excellent value, contain no nasties to aggravate your scalp and hair follicles. It can be really simple to treat scalp problems by treating yourself to your own pampering session using natural oils to help heal your scalp infection. And then be kind to your hair and scalp by using only products that nourish your hair and scalp such as Aveda or Akin brand shampoos. You can assist the healing process and help restore balance back to your scalp and you hair will appreciate and reward you for it too by becoming less brittle, stronger and shinier.
As with all natural remedies please patch test first. It is not intended for this information to replace a doctors medical advice, so please see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The responsibility of obtaining doctors diagnosis and using remedies is yours.

Severe Food Allergies

Tree Allergies

Some of the most common food allergies can be hidden in your favorite foods and beverages. Food allergies occur when the immune system mounts an attack on certain food proteins. The substance in a specific food that causes this reaction in the immune system is called an allergen. The immune system is a complicated network of cells that helps to protect your body from any foreign substance. When it is functioning properly, it will detect these foreign substances and release a protein called immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies.

Tree Allergies

The antibodies attack the substance, which in turn, causes the allergic reaction. The immune system will assume that a seemingly harmless food is a threat to the body's health and will trigger the release of IgE. The next time you eat even the smallest amount of that food, the IgE antibodies will signal your immune system to release a chemical called histamine as well as other chemicals into your bloodstream.

Tree Allergies

These chemicals cause several allergic symptoms such as a dripping nose, itchy eyes, dry throat, rashes and hives, nausea, diarrhea, labored breathing, and even anaphylactic shock. Most food allergies are triggered by certain proteins found in shellfish such as shrimp, lobster and crab. Other foods that many people are highly allergic to are peanuts, tree nuts such as walnuts and pecans as well as fish and eggs.

Tree Allergies

In children, food allergies are also commonly triggered by proteins in eggs, milk, peanuts, and tree nuts. Many parents have also thought that chocolate causes food allergies, but in fact, it has been proven that it is actually very rare to have a reaction from this food. If you or a family member are experiencing reactions to certain foods, it is recommended to visit an allergist in order to receive proper medical attention.

Natural Allergy Relief - Is it Possible?

Tree Allergies

A person suffering from allergies often becomes a harassed patient. For the sake of getting relief, he visits doctors who prescribe strong medicines to suppress symptoms, and even resorts to experimenting with various over-the-counter medications just to be rid of the nagging symptoms. However, there are times when none of these work, or work only temporarily. This leaves the patient wondering if any natural remedies would give him lasting relief and eventually help him get rid of his allergy.

Tree Allergies

The question foremost in a sufferer's mind is whether there can be relief without medication-prescription drugs or over-the-counter medicines. He cannot visualize a situation where there is no suffering and no medication either. He is pleasantly surprised to find natural alternatives, which are healthier and cheaper.

Tree Allergies

People prone to non-food allergies, can use food options as a way of seeking relief. That is, if the allergy is caused by dust mites, mold, mildew or tobacco smoke, relief is available in the form of foods and drinks that may stop your allergic reactions. These include having a glass of lukewarm water with the juice of one lime added to it, or eating one or two bananas everyday for at least a month, and also taking vegetable juices. These are believed to make the body resistant to allergies. However, this approach is not recommended for people who suffer from food allergies because, treating one set of allergies with specific foods might trigger off another kind of food allergy.

Tree Allergies

One more natural cure that can bring relief is vitamin B5. Vitamins are not medicinal supplements; they actually are not as they are contained in natural foods. Hence they are considered to be more natural in content than medicines. The intake of vitamin B5 has to be at least one tablet a day for a minimum of two or three months. It is only after this period that the benefits of this supplement will be seen.

It is generally believed that natural remedies would mean turning to natural resources for respite, like consuming natural foods, herbs and vitamins. Another natural option is to move away or keep a distance from trigger factors. This involves first finding the trigger factors, that is, which things lead to the allergy. Therefore, those prone to dust allergies can hire the services of a professional cleaning agency to clean up the house and remove all dust particles that might accumulate in carpets, corners or covered areas. Those suffering from allergy from mold and mildew must avoid areas where these are likely to be present, like the loft and basement.

Of all the allergies, food allergies are considered to be the most dangerous, even life threatening. Caution is the keyword for all those who suffer from food allergies. As in all other allergies, it is first important to know which are the food types that you are allergic to, and then be constantly on guard whenever you eat, to see that none of the foods on your plate, have any of the allergy provoking foods. It is also advisable to know what reactions take place, and in such eventuality that an allergy sets in, what must be done to undo the damage. This is especially important for people suffering from peanut allergy as they can go into shock and die within minutes of consuming even a miniscule quantity of nuts.

Allergies are bad and cause distress even due to ignorance. This can be resolved by collecting information on the internet about your specific allergy and also read books and journals that address the issue of allergy.

How to Minimize and Eliminate Allergies - The Natural Allergy Elimination

Tree Allergies

Sometimes there is no other way to help your allergies, but to take the medication. I personally prefer natural allergy relief methods and I have been able to minimize and some people even eliminate allergies with just making some simple changes. In some instances, some natural medication work better than the proscribed, at least for me. But, the cure to eliminate allergies needs to start with us. My allergies are respiratory and sinus connected so everything I breathe has affect on me. So here is what I did!

Tree Allergies

One of the first was to change to food I eat. I have completely eliminated the microwave food because from what I read, it can be harmful for allergy sufferers. I also changed my diet to include a lot more fruit and vegetables. I have also found different ways to boost my immune system such as taking the new fun Vitaballs vitamins and reading up on different foods that boost immune system. One great book to read is 100 top Immune System Boosters. People often do not connect immune system with allergies, but more and more people are saying that since they started working on improving their immune system, their allergies reduced. My personal belief is that when we suffer from allergies, the body recognizes this as a cold and immune system fights. This was definitely another way I was able to minimize my allergies.

Tree Allergies

Now in addition to this I have almost completely eliminated scented candles and heavy scented cleaners. I am not sure if there is anything in the candle scent that causes allergies, but my problem was any kind of heavy scented sweet smell. The cleaning supplies and heavy chemical smell bothered me a lot too! So I started purchasing natural cleaners including the dish washing cleaners. Some of the brands for cleaners are Cleen Free and Seventh Generation. I always look for unscented products when ever I need to purchase any kind of cleaner. It works like a charm form my sinuses.

Tree Allergies

I have also incorporated humidifier into all of this. Depending on the aria you live, you may want to get air purifier or dehumidifier. I live in the dry area so my sinuses really suffer and my allergies increase during the cold dry winter. Especially since we have heater on, this makes it even worse. Now I have my humidifier on during the night and in the office when I work. I did not connect this with my allergies right away, but it turned out I should have. This made a huge difference for me as well. I strongly believe this was another way for me to eliminate my allergies almost completely.

Incorporated into this, I use some other products as well. These products are SinuCleanse and Breathe Right Nasal strips, which are one of the top 10 natural allergy remedies for sinus sufferers. With the combination of all of this, the allergies have really improved! I have not yet been able to eliminate them completely but definitely minimize them.

There is nothing sweeter than that first wisp of spring air wafting through an open window or the first time you hear the crackle of fall leaves under your feet. Unfortunately, for more than 35 million Americans, these simple pleasures have come to herald another season of discomfort due to allergies.

Tree Allergies

I'm sure most of you are well versed in prescription and over-the-counter options that promise relief in handy 12-hour increments. If you have been battling allergies for years, you have probably worked your way through many of these drugs, yet you remain unsatisfied. That is because pharmaceutical allergy medications cause side effects, like drowsiness and dry mouth that can sometimes be as unpleasant as the actual allergies!

Tree Allergies

Relief Is Right Under Your Nose

Tree Allergies

If you can't bear the thought of yet another season of popping expensive pills and spending all your time indoors, there is hope. There is a wide array of natural remedies for allergy symptoms and so are right in your own pantry.

The first one is simple table salt. Using a device called a neti pot that looks like a genie's lamp you can flush out your nasal passages twice a day with a saltwater solution. This will clear out any pollen and thin the mucous so you feel clearer. You can also buy a prepared saline nasal spray, which is basically the same thing.

The Spice is Right

Have you ever been to a Mexican or Indian restaurant and sunk your teeth right into a chile pepper? After you're done gulping down a cold drink and wiping the sweat from your brow, you may have noticed that your sinuses felt remarkably clear. Spices and certain aromatic herbs can actually thin the mucous in your nose, bringing welcome relief when allergies strike. Try acclimating yourself to spicier meals using cayenne pepper, fresh ginger, fenugreek, garlic and chiles in your cooking.

It's also important to keep in mind that any food sensitivities can be doubly problematic during allergy season. Steer clear of foods that cause upset stomach so your immune system can stay strong enough to combat allergies.

Alternative Treatments--Something for Everyone

There are so many alternative methods for treating allergy symptoms, that I probably can't fit them all into this article! Plus, new ones are being discovered everyday. Here is a list of the best natural allergy remedies I know:

1) Magnesium Supplements - This mineral acts as a natural antihistamine.

2) Lavender Oil -Rub this easy-to-find oil on your temples to help open nasal passages.

3) Nettle - Sold freeze-dried in capsule form, this weed naturally prevents the body from producing histamine.

4) Goldenseal - This herb, taken as a tonic or tea, has astringent and antibacterial abilities.

5) Quercetin - This nutrient is a powerful antioxidant that acts as an antihistamine. It is even more beneficial when taken along with vitamin C.

6) Omega-3 Fatty Acids - This nutrient fights inflammation that allergies can cause. It is found easily in nutritious foods like fatty fish and fortified eggs.

7) Acupuncture - This ancient Chinese therapy has been shown to relieve symptoms in allergy sufferers.

Remember to start some of these alternative therapies before allergy symptoms creep up on you. Taking quercetin supplements and eating omega-3 foods, for example, will prepare your body to handle the allergy onslaught, so start three to six weeks prior to allergy season.

Even more importantly, consult your doctor or allergist before mixing any alternative medicines with other drugs. Any new treatments, even if they are natural, should be cleared by your physician. Make this the year you will enjoy the changing seasons in all their glory!

Allergies - How Natural Perfumes Can Cause an Allergic Reaction

Tree Allergies

Allergies are a way of life with some individuals. Avoiding the very thing that causes their allergy is hard to do because of others in their life. Perfume is one of the most common reactors in individuals with allergic hypersensitivity. Some people actually believe that natural is better than synthetic perfumes.

Tree Allergies

Recently, there has been a study done at the University of Gothenburg that shows that natural aromatic oils can cause contact allergy or eczema-provoking allergens. We have been told by the Aroma Therapists that the natural oils do not cause any type of reaction. This has been proven false by a real life study. Guess there will be some revisions to what goes into advertising of essential oils now.

Tree Allergies

I have one client who is a Universal Reactor and cannot get around any form of perfume or essential oils. She leads a very lonely life but is a real life survivor of Chemical Sensitivity. She was poisoned by pesticides and is determined to move forward with her life, no matter what is thrown her way. She is an inspiration to others and helps them all to understand how to cope with their allergy.

Tree Allergies

Natural lavender oil was studied by Lina Hagvall, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg. The results of the study showed that natural aromas or essential oils are not as healthy as reported. Her study showed that essential oils do not prevent the formation of allergenic substances. This is going to be a big blow in the theory of natural substances are healthy for us. The study showed just the opposite. I am sure that there will be some type of backlash from this study, more information needs to be uncovered for the whole story.

I personally use some of the essential oils but will be a little more careful in my selection of what to use now. Peppermint is my favorites but it will be used less now. I have one friend who is allergic to the smell of peppermint essential oil, now I know why. I thought she was just allergic to me, now I know better. Guys and Girls, you need to watch your essential oil, might be a real turn off to your partner.

Allergies can be frustrating but dealing with them is a matter of survival for some individuals. If you believe you are having a severe reaction to a natural essential oil, consult with you Doctor to get more information. This study of Lavender Oil shows that all things in Mother Nature are not always good for us.
