Itchy bumps on your skin or scalp can be annoying, disturbing and unsightly. Whats worse is when you are not sure what they are or how they were caused.

There is much you can do to soothe itchy bumps but first it's helpful and reassuring to understand that the many reasons why itchy bumps can form - from insect bites to allergies to shampoo ingredients. Once you pinpoint their origin you can use natural treatments for itchy bumps to relieve the itching.

I will say before I start that you should consult with a physician if you have any itchy bump or lump that is in one place for more than a week or if it is a suspected spider or poisonous bite. Persistent itchy bumps under the skin need to be taken seriously even just as a precaution. Please note I am referring to itchy bumps here that are of a temporary (but annoying) nature.

So with that said, lets cover each of the most common causes:

So what can you do to stop some of the incessant itching from skin bumps and lumps?

Natural remedies made from essential plant oils can do three things for itchy skin or scalp bumps:

Lavender oil can soothe itching and calm red sore irritated skin rashes - takes the sting out of bites in minutes - also heals skin

Rosemary oil helps to calm and protect against infection because of its antibacterial properties and has healing propertied for skin

Tea tree oil is highly antibacterial so helps to kill infections

Neem is soothing and antibacterial - it is also used for rashes, and psoriasis type skin conditions around the world.

Jojoba soothes, balances and rehydrates skin mimicing the natural sebum of your skin and scalp.

You can make a home remedy from these oils using two tablespoons of Jojoba (or any nut oil), 3 drops tea tree oil, 5 drops of neem, 4 drops of lavender and 3 drops of tea tree to apply to any itchy bumps. We keep a spray bottle filled with water and this mixture in the fridge or pantry and when any of our family get any kind of bite or rash (mosquitoes seem to love our kids and I). Any time the kids have an itchy rash or bump of any kinds they head straight for the "magic bottle" shake it and spray it on for instant relief.

This mixture takes calms any redness, takes the sting or itch away and helps to repair damaged skin. I suggest keeping a bottle in your cupboard for cuts, bites, rashes and bumps and my favorite - as a hair & scalp treatment.

If you have any persistent bumps I suggest you do see a doctor to eliminate any more serious conditions as a cause...but for everyday itchy bumps - you can treat them at home for fast relief and healing.
