Hello my friend
I am Dr.Arianisa
Thanks for your question on HCM
Treatment is needed only if you see one or more live
lice. Empty eggshells (nits) do not always mean that you are infested with lice. Nits can stick to hair even when lice are gone (for example, after treatment that kills the lice).
Currently, there are five main recommended options for clearing head lice:
-- Dimeticone 4% lotion (trade name: Hedrin).
--Isopropyl myristate and cyclomethicone solution (trade name: Full Marks Solution).
--Coconut, anise and ylang ylang (CAY) spray.
--Malathion 0.5% aqueous liquid (has various trade names).
--Wet combing using the Bug Buster comb and method (see separate leaflet called Wet Combing Treatment for Head Lice for more detail).
The treatment chosen may depend on your personal preference, and what you have tried before (if appropriate). Each treatment has a good chance of clearing head lice if applied or done correctly and if all affected people in the household are treated at the same time. Each treatment is now briefly discussed but for details of how to use each treatment, read the instructions that come with the packaging.
Hope this information is helpful to you
Best regards
