scalp sores - Immune Disorders Message Board

Hi everyone. I know this sounds gross or wierd but I have auto immune disease and wonder if the sores on my scalp have anything to do with it. They're sort of like pimples, but never come to a head, they're just sore and scabby. I've had them as long as I've had the aches and pains. Any opinion appreciated!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I also have an autoimmune disease and I get the same sores...I assume they are related because I started getting them during the onset of all my other symptoms. I never had them before I was sick.

Hey, thanks for answering! I'm glad they're on my head cos my hair covers them up!

Hi, I have lyme, chlamydia pnumoniae bacteria, Eptstein barr, Cytomeglovirus, and a few other things...I also get sores on my head. I have found that getting Tea Tree Oil and using it on my scalp after I shampoo my hair has helped them go away. I put a couple cap full in about a cup of water and use it as a rinse. I leave it on...the smell goes away in an hour or so...Careful not to get it in your eyes.

I have also heard Neem helps....

Hope you find some relief
