Lice on the head

2020-05-31 09:20:29
I've consulted a couple of dermatologists, a number of times with regard to the problem of head lice faced during the lockdown. Have been prescribed perlice rinse cream. Yet after following the instructions of applying the lotion on my head and leaving it overnight, I still feel some kind of itching. What could the itching be due to? You think it's because lice are still alive, or something else?
