About Head Lice Drug
Head lice are small, wingless, blood-sucking insects that attack the hair. They feed on the blood of your scalp, which causes irritation or sometimes large pimples on the head. The male lice are much larger compared to the female lice. Head lice are transmissible if you get infected with head lice. Head lice are characterized by symptoms such as severe itching, tingling sensation when the hair moves, and sores on the scalp, neck, and shoulders. Head lice infestation is caused by poor personal hygiene. Head lice can be treated with over-the-counter drugs and prescribed drugs. There are many treatment options available to get rid of head lice, but most treatments need to be used twice or more. The second treatment takes place after a week to kill any newly hatched nits.
