Have been experiencing severe itching on my scalp past few days only to realise I have head lice. Got prescribed perlice rinse cream by a doctor from Practo yesterday. Last evening I applied the cream as per doctor's instruction and today I'm still experiencing the itching so frequently. What should I do? I'm irritated due to the itching and my sleep is disturbed.
