A member asked:
Ive tried every possible lice medicine and visited doctors yet no kind of medication is helping, and the eggs are more common than lice, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: If you rinse your hair daily with copious amounts of a stiff vinegar,( pickling vinegar does well), this can loosen the eggs attachment to hair. Combing the eggs out with a nit comb will then have more success.If you do that for a week & then try the OTC product it may work better.If not there are some prescription meds for the resistant lice.
