Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on blood. They are common, especially among school children, and have nothing to do with being unclean. The right hair lice treatment depends on how severe the case is.
Common Symptoms
- Constant itching of scalp, neck and behind the ears
- A feeling of something moving in the hair
- Red bumps or sores from scratching
- Tiny white or yellow nits near the root
How Lice Spread
- Head-to-head contact
- Sharing combs, caps or scarves
- Sharing pillows and bedding
Treatment Options
- Medicated shampoo or lotion: Mild cases, follow label instructions
- Fine-tooth combing: Needs patience and repeating every few days
- Professional treatment: Thorough lice and nit removal in one session
Prevention
Tie long hair, avoid sharing personal items and check hair regularly during school season. If the scalp looks infected, see a doctor.
