Head Lice - Overview

Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that infest human hair and feed on blood from the scalp. They are common among school-age children and can easily spread through close contact, sharing combs or brushes, or wearing clothing or hats previously worn by an infected person. Treatment usually involves using medication to kill the lice and their eggs, as well as thoroughly cleaning all clothing, bedding, and other items that may have come into contact with the infested person. Head lice cream, when applied correctly, can help eliminate these pesky parasites and their eggs from the hair and scalp.

When do you know that you have been infected with head lice?

Head lice are parasites that survive on the scalp and feed on human blood. When dealing with head lice infestations, finding the best lice treatment is essential for effective eradication. Some common symptoms you may have if you have head lice are:

  • Itching: Itching is caused by the lice biting and sucking blood from the scalp.
  • Visible lice: Adult lice can be seen crawling on the scalp or hair.
  • Nits: Nits are the eggs of head lice and are typically found attached to the hair.
  • Redness and swelling: People may experience redness, swelling, or inflammation on the scalp due to an allergic reaction to the lice bites.
  • Restlessness and irritability: Head lice infestations can cause discomfort and irritability, which may result in difficulty sleeping.

Treatment For Head Lice

When it comes to treating head lice, there are various head lice medicines available designed to combat the infestation and prevent reoccurrence. The most popular treatment is killing them by the usage of head lice creams and head lice shampoos. For severe cases, your doctor may also prescribe oral head lice medications such as antiparasitic medicines (Ex. permethrin etc) to control head lice effectively. It is essential to carefully follow the instructions provided with the medication and to ensure that all affected individuals in the household are treated simultaneously to avoid reinfestation.
