Med consultation: You should consult your health care provider / dermatologist individually before using pediculicidal products if you have open sores, acute or chronic skin / scalp conditions, dermatitis or psoriasis.

An old style Rx: Since your scalp may absorb an excessive amount of what amounts to bug spray in most treatments, an old remedy may help.Some find a stout vinegar: apple cider or pickling vinegar, used as a wash/rinse will sometimes kill the bugs and loosen the egg casings for easier removal.It can be repeated several days in a row.If no help, a topical or oral med may be needed.
