Black Itchy Spots On Head With Dandruff. What Is It?
My head has been itchy in tiny spots, not all over, and When I check for lice I only find little black dots and dandruff, the black dots are super small and its very hard to see what they are. I'm pretty sure I don't have lice because this has been going on for almost a month now, and wouldn't there be adults by now? I don't know what to do.
