Scalp Itch/Lice
Hey Dr,
I have been having an itchy scalp from quite sometime now. It gets too annoying and distracting. I am also afraid of Head Lice, combed my hair and found a few small lice. Please help, head lice seems to be quite a big problem if neglected.
Thankyou!

Yes you are right. Head lice can lead to secondary infection of your scalp and enlarged lymph nodes.
