A member asked:
If you have really bad dandruff and your heads really itchy how do you know if you have lice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have someone look: You need to have someone experienced in seeing lice and their eggs check your hair and scalp. If you know a school nurse they can do it, otherwise a doctor.
