Head Lice

These creatures, contrary to popular belief, prefer clean hair and are therefore not a sign of poor hygiene. Medicated head lotion, shampoos and creams are available from chemists without prescription, but most do not work effectively. Treat your whole family at the same time.

Special nit combs help to eradicate and identify head lice and regular combing and brushing protects the hair from re-infection. Using conditioner may help to remove head lice.
