How come when i apply vaseline to my scalp it gives my scalp bumps and makes it sore? i thought petroleum is non comedogenic? i have very dry scalp.

See a dermatologist: Stop vaseline. You have something, not "dry scalp" Meanwhile try Head/Shoulders shampoo in a shower every night (day). You probably need a prescription.
