A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lice: It is very difficult if not impossible to check for lice on your own head. Enlist a family member, or friend to carefully separate the hair and look for lice or nits (eggs) at the lower back of the head and behind the ears. If there is any evidence of Lice, or if you are constantly itching in these areas, Apply a Lice preparation made for hair to the entirety of your scalp. May repeat in 5 days.
