Perlice 1% is great. But how you use it to rinse and clean your scalp is what you should take care of. Also, you need to take oral med along with it to get rid of the lice.
Next Steps
Kindly consult for further opinion and treatment.
Health Tips
Use narrow toothed comb after applying lotion for 2 hours.

Remove lice with perlice or zeroscab will not completely remove it from the scalp. Just use this medicines twice. Then do wet combing  weekly twice for 8 weeks. This will help in complete removal. Wet combing means use lice comb and do combing every time you wash your hair, so that the eggs will come out
