Clean, dry, no sun: Keep it clean, dry, and out of the sun. If you want them permanently removed then laser hair removal is the only way. NAIR treatment can dissolve the hair, but is not permanent.

Question 3

what's the best treatment to get rid of abdominal skin itching?

Accepted Answer

OTC oral/topical: Skin itch can be treated with topical Cortaid (or any generic Hydrocortisone 1% cream) and/or oral anti-histamines (benedryl, zytrec, allegra, claritin (loratadine)...).  Be careful with chronic use of topical steroids: use for short periods of time to prevent skin atrophy ('thinning of the skin'). Get seen if not improved.

Re-exposure...: Of course, some of the commercial and even prescription pediculocides (lice medicines) require 2 separate applications given about a week apart. Just make sure to follow your doctor's directions or the directions on the bottle, and remind your little one to not share caps/hats/bandanas or combs/brushes with other children.
