Hi itching associated with weight loss can be due to thyriod disorder .first rule out it.i do not think lice infestation causes weight loss.except in thyriod disorders weight loss and itching is not related.
Treat the disase with atarax 25 mg at night.allegra 180 mg in the morning .use of bandy plus 12 mg weekly once and application of moisteriser along with diprovate g ointment can cure the condition.if hyperthyriodism is diagnosed treat accordingly
