How to remove scalp mites?

Pests such as mites can be found in every corner of our lives, such as on the bed and in many other places in the room. Mites often parasitize on the human body. In addition to easily appearing on the skin, the hair is also a very easy place for mites to appear. Mites are usually not felt on the human scalp and cannot be seen in the mirror. Therefore, you must first learn to judge and also understand the following removal methods.

First, high temperature and exposure to the sun to remove mites

"If you don't dry your quilt in the sun for three months, you will have 6 million head mites sleeping with you." This is not alarmist. Head mites do not only live in hair follicles. Pillows that are stained with hair oil and bedding that are in close contact with the skin every day will be full of mites. Mites are afraid of heat and can be killed at 60 degrees Celsius for two or three minutes. Mites can be killed by washing with hot water, exposing to the sun, ironing, etc. Washing bedding with 60°C hot water once a week can kill all the mites. As long as it is sunny, take out the quilt and pillow to dry in the sun every day. It will not only kill the mites, but also smell the scent of the sun when you sleep, which is really great.

Second, wash your hair with onion juice or garlic juice

Head mites live deep in the hair follicles and only come out to cause trouble in the middle of the night when you are asleep. Ordinary shampooing procedures cannot kill them at all. Fortunately, there are two natural mite removers, onions and garlic. Wash your hair twice a week with warm water with garlic juice or onion juice. The "allicin" in garlic and onions can kill mites. Pure natural remedies must be used for a long time to see the effect, and there will be individual differences in the effect. If you find that it has little effect on you after using it for a period of time, you can also seek help from medication.

Third, drug removal of mites

Benzyl benzoate ointment is the most commonly used miticide. In addition to killing mites, this over-the-counter medicine is also used to treat scabies, body lice and pubic lice. Note: Do not use this medicine if there are ulcers or wounds on the head. If redness, swelling or burning sensation occurs on the skin during use, stop taking the medicine immediately.

Using a strong coal tar shampoo at the same time as taking the medicine will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Head mites feed on the oil secreted by the scalp. Coal tar shampoo can not only wash away the oil secreted by the scalp, but also wash away the lipolytic enzyme secreted by the head mites, making the head mites lose their food source and thus become extinct naturally.

Fourth, sulfur soap removes mites

Except for washing your hair, sulfur soap can be used to remove mites from other parts of the body, especially the face and back, which have high levels of sebum secretion. The sodium fatty acids and sulfur in sulfur soap can inhibit sebum secretion and are the natural enemy of head mites. However, washing your hair with sulfur soap can damage the hair, so sulfur soap cannot be used to remove mites from the head.

Hair loss is a troublesome thing, but before treating hair loss, you must first figure out why it happens. As long as it is not seborrheic or hereditary alopecia, hair loss caused by head mites can be actively treated.

To treat and prevent head mites, you need to pay attention to adjusting your diet, eat more light foods, less sugar, less oil, less spicy and irritating foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and appropriately supplement B vitamins and zinc, etc.
