Signs of Head Licw
Signs of Head lice
Signs of head lice can come as early as right away for some people. Lice can notoriously cause an itchy scalp from the bites. Other skin conditions such as dandruff, eczema or even allergies to shampoo can cause itching as well. It is important to be able to differentiate those symptoms from lice before a lice infestation may have time to get worse. If your child has lice, you will notice small, brown insects the size of sesame seeds moving around or nits that look like they’re cemented on to individual hairs. It may be a little confusing to tell the difference between dirt or lice and nits. This blog will help you have all of the tools you need to successfully check your children for lice.
- Wet your child’s hair with a spray bottle (not too wet but just enough)
- Apply a little bit of conditioner to the hair
- Use a wet brush to comb out tangles and slick the hair back
- Grab a few sheets of paper towels
- Using your “Terminator Lice Comb” (available at our clinics) comb along the scalp front to back starting at your hairline next to your ear. After each row, wipe it off onto the paper towel, you will overlap each row until you work your way to your other ear.
- Using a white paper towel and white conditioner gives you the advantage to eliminate the confusion of dandruff. Lice eggs are a tan or brown shade and easy to spot when using this method. The eggs will be in the shape of a teardrop and the bugs will be tan or brown about the size of a sesame seed.
