Hello, The idea here is to slow the lice down and weaken them, so they are removed, easily from the scalp and hair.
Use homoeopathic medicine underlying:@.Echinecea Q -20 drops mixed with olive oil, apply on your scalp in the night, wrapped with a towel for whole night, comb your hair in the morning to remove lice and nits.
Tk, care.

Hi. Pubic louse is 100% a hygiene related issue. First shave off pubic hair and bathe everyday, concentrating on pubic wash with soap and water. Ask your doctor for a prescription for the drug applied externally for scabies and lice and apply over the head (since head is the source) over night on alternate days to be washed off with shampoo next morning. Once pubic hair grows, treat it with the same solution there. Best wishes.

Lice infestation is a problem, many people in the world must be facing. Medically, infestation of lice is called as pediculosis. With a few measures, lice infestation can be treated:
