How to determine whether you have head lice, you need to know the inspection method

Head lice should be rare in today's society. Our generation often had head lice when we were young, and head lice would be very itchy. This was mostly due to poor hygiene conditions in the past. You can determine whether you have head lice by checking your hair, so you should take precautions against head lice in your daily life.

1. Inspection method

Turn the hair from the nape of the neck to the front against the direction of the hair. If there are small white spots, flick them gently with your hand. If they cannot be flicked off, pull out the white spots and press them with your fingernails. If water flows out or you hear a sound, these are lice eggs.

What to do if your child is infected with head lice:

Children infected with head lice must use Chinese herbal products, as lice mostly occur on the hair.

2. Treatment Methods

1. Sulfur ointment can only provide relief but not cure the disease. Symptoms are prone to recurrence if discontinued, and generally require 1-2 months. Apply 3-5 times daily.

2. Lindane cream can also relieve the symptoms of pubic lice, but it is highly toxic and cannot cure the disease. It is generally required to be used 3-5 times a day for 20-30 consecutive days.

3. Use Kangwang shampoo, the effect is average.

4. Use a comb (a comb as thin as hair that is used to comb out lice and lice eggs) to wash your hair first and then comb it in the right direction. Wash your hair once a day for 4-5 consecutive days, the effect is very good

But nowadays, combs are hard to buy and are only available in the countryside.

5. Wash your hair first as you look for lice. When the lice are wet, they cannot move, so they will come out to breathe. Lice will appear on the surface of the hair, on the tips of the hair, and on the temples. The effect is very good.

6. Use white vinegar to wash your hair. Wet your hair, scalp, back of the ears, and back of the neck with white vinegar, wrap them tightly and cover them for 5 to 10 minutes. The lice will die in large numbers after being fumigated by the vinegar, and then you can wash your hair. It is not clear whether white vinegar can kill lice eggs.

3. Preventive Care

1. Do not use other people’s toiletries.

2 Develop good cleaning habits and wash your hair frequently, at least once a week.

3 Avoid contact with people suffering from head lice to avoid infection.

4 Active and effective treatment and prevention of pubic lice.

5 Try to keep your hair dry. Do not cover or tie your hair after being caught in the rain or washing it, so that your hair can dry quickly and avoid creating a warm and humid environment for lice. Maybe this is the reason why some people get lice because of poor personal hygiene.
