Suggest Treatment For White Scabs On The Scalp
I think I may have some kind of live head lice or white scabby looking things in my scalp. Every now and then it feels like something is moving in my hair. White scabs, not dandruff. I pick dome off sometimes and there is no blood or anything of color except white. Nelp!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is Pediculosis then it has to be treated with Gamabenzine lotion and other medicines but condition need to be confirmed unless the condition being diagnosed it can not be treated well, some time it may not be like what you are thinking, it may be some allergic condition, or it may be fungal infection, in my opinion better to use the "Povidone Iodine" shampoo hope this information helps.
