Here's how you can treat a sore scalp
The first step is to identify why your scalp is sore.

Do you feel pain and irritation while running your fingers through your hair? This happens as a result of a sore and tender scalp, which could be a reason to worry. There are a number of causes behind a sensitive scalp. Here are a few causes behind scalp tenderness and some simple tips to help you deal with it.

Causes
Firstly, what leads to a sensitive scalp?

There can be various reasons behind the sensitivity of the scalp. It is often linked to many kinds of headaches. Particularly, headaches that involve nerves that run from the back of your neck to the forehead could cause scalp soreness. Some skin infections may also make the scalp tender. Other reasons for a sore scalp include head lice, blockage in blood vessels, and psoriasis.

#1
Treat with essential oils and massage

Understanding the reason behind the issue is only the first step, the second is to take timely action. Causes such as mild headaches can be addressed by massaging the scalp regularly using certain essential oils. Lavender oil and rosemary are said to be effective in curing scalp pain. We suggest you take an essential oil, dilute it with a carrier oil, and massage thoroughly.

#2
Do not tie your hair too tightly

Tight hairstyles result in tension in your hair, which can further lead to pain in the scalp and head. So, avoid tying your hair tightly for as long as possible. Apart from scalp pain, it may also weaken hair follicles, thereby causing your hair to fall or break. Further, it is advisable to sleep with your hair down to release tension and prevent pain.

#3
Stay away from cosmetic products

Additionally, excessive usage of cosmetic products on your hair could result in scalp sensitivity, as these chemicals get accumulated on the scalp and block pores. Hence, it is better not to use chemical-infused products on your hair. However, if such products are unavoidable, make sure to wash your hair properly and regularly to leave no traces.

#4
Consult a doctor

If the pain in your scalp continues despite following these tips, consult a doctor as soon as possible. We say so because there can be various serious issues behind a painful scalp. A medical diagnosis will help you track the root cause of the problem, thus allowing you to get the right treatment at the right time. Stay healthy!
