How can you treat head sores in black kids hair?

In: Child Health, Hair [Edit categories]

Answer:

One thing you could do is make sure the hair is clean and grease-free. Hair grease can clog the pores and trap bacteria. Then I think I would clean the sores with alcohol or peroxide and then apply some antibacterial ointment. If the sores don't turn to scabs and heal within a few days, I'd take the children to the doctor.
