Head lice treatment
My sister lives in a hostel and she's got an extreme case of head lice from the girls from her dormitory. We Googled places where we could treat it but centres only came up for children. Can we get her situation treated at your clinic?
We will be thankful as head lice possess a lot of negative effects on one's health. We have tried all home remedies and it's out of our control noe

Hi
Head lice can be treated effectively by a dermatologist or a family physician.
They will also educate you how to prevent recurrences.
Other members of the family or the hostel mates need to be treated
