A member asked:
What could cause a child to get head lice a few months after getting rid of it?
16 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Reinfection: If truly gone the 1st time, only reinfection causes reoccurance. Remember there is no immunity built up to lice.
