Severe hair itching

2021-07-09 00:37:05
I have been having severe itching in the scalp since a few days. I don't think it is lice though I used lice removal shampoo once. Will appreciate any help and guidance. Thank you.

Lice is easily treatable, but cannot prescribe medicine here. Need to see and confirm the diagnosis also. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
