Service Description

Lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on blood. They are very small, about the size of a sesame seed, and can be hard to see. Lice are common, especially among school-aged children, and are spread through close contact or sharing personal items like hats or brushes. Common symptoms of lice include intense itching on the scalp, neck, and ears, a tickling feeling of something moving in the hair, and sores on the head caused by scratching. You might also notice small white eggs, called nits, attached to the hair shafts. Scalp infections can occur if the skin on the scalp becomes irritated or damaged, often due to scratching. These infections can cause redness, swelling, and pus-filled sores. Lice infestations are typically caused by direct head-to-head contact with someone who has lice. They can also spread through sharing personal items, but lice cannot jump or fly. If you think you have lice or a scalp infection, booking a virtual appointment with a healthcare provider is a great way to get help. You can discuss your symptoms and receive treatment recommendations without leaving home. Schedule your virtual appointment today to get the care you need and keep your scalp healthy and itch-free!
