How can I permanently remove lice from my hair?

Patient's Query

I want to kill lice and lice egg in my hair . I suffering this problem in many years . I already applied many time of soap shampoo and oil but not result i get . I want permanent solution for that

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It sounds like you’re facing a challenging situation with persistent lice and eggs, which can lead to itching and discomfort. Lice are tiny insects that thrive on the scalp and can cause irritation. Over-the-counter treatments, such as medicated shampoos containing permethrin or pyrethrin, can be effective. Applying them thoroughly and following instructions is essential. You might also consider a professional evaluation to ensure proper identification and treatment. Additionally, regularly wash bedding and hair accessories in hot water to eliminate any remaining lice and eggs. Don’t hesitate to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance to find a long-lasting solution.

Urjas oil lagane par jalan hota hai

Male | 36

Feeling a burning sensation after being oiled with Urjas is not unheard of. It could be because your skin is sensitive, or if you have any allergies to the components of the oil causing the reaction. Your skin reacting is a sign. To help with this, immediately cease using the oil, wash the area with a little gentle soap and water, and apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel. If the sensation persists, switch to a different product.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?

Male | 21

A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

Male | 18

It is crucial if you have a rash on your penis to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract as soon as possible. It might turn out to be an ingrown hair but you might be prone to a sexually transmitted disease.
