Lices and nits

2026-06-02 16:32:55
I don't know how. But lices and nits are there in my scalp and it's very irritating. Please help me by suggesting some remedies.

Head lice (pediculosis capitis) spread through direct head-to-head contact and are very common — nothing to be embarrassed about. The most effective treatment is a permethrin-based anti-lice lotion (like Scabi or Lyclear), applied to dry hair, left for 10–15 minutes, then washed off. Use a fine-toothed lice comb on wet hair to remove the nits (eggs) — this step is very important as lotions do not always kill nits. Repeat the treatment after 7–10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation if the infestation persists after two rounds of treatment, as a prescription-strength option may be needed.

Hi, lice and nits are common and easily treatable.  Use a good anti lice shampoo as per instructions, comb daily with a fine comb and wash bedding in hot water.  It should clear up soon with consistent care.  Feel free to consult for further guidance.
