THE ONLY WAY:  (the poisons are bull)\n\never heard of nit-picking?  The only way to completely rid yourself of them is to get a nit comb and a bunch of hair clips.  You need to comb every strand of hair with the nit comb, in small groups.  I pull the hair back and clip it after I comb it.  You can't miss any spots or they will come back.  I learned this from a doctor on the internet.  He was promoting this $20 nit comb that was supposed to be great, but I just did it with a cheap one and made sure I got everything out.  I keep a bowl of alcohol nearby to dump in the nits and lice I catch.\n\nIt is a pain in the butt, but worth it.\n\nYou want to vacume the living room furniture and wash your bedding in hot water to keep from reinfestation.

The problem is that you can't kill the eggs. The nits are encased in a very strong type substance that cannot be penetrated. The most important thing is to retreat the hair after 7 to 10 days and you HAVE to get all the nits out by hand or by comb.  I find those plastic combs ineffective. I ordered a metal comb called medi comb from a dealer on ebay. It works the best but you will still need to hand pick some. They are such a pain! Also using hair styling products (after hair is nit/lice free) daily helps prevent reinfestation from contant with others (at school/bus/etc.). I also flat iron/or hot iron curl her hair at times or braid it. Anything that keeps it back or helps to kill those pests! Also watch closely the friends they play with and if you see any kind of scratching check the child immediately and send them home to tell their parents if you find any nits or anything. Check over the ears and nape of the neck. Also they do make lice repellent spray that you can order (search online) it's mostly tea tree oil, eucalyptus, geranium, and other essential oils mixed with water but it could help if your child is in close proximity of other children and lice is a reoccurring problem. Prevention is the best medicine.

Time my friend.\n\nYou only have to wait.\n\nYou are experiancing in grown hair.  It is a situation girls deal with a lot.\n\nIt should go away in a few days.  Scratching is fine - just don't do it so much you bleed.

Go to the drug store and purchase RID-X.They have the shampoo and body wash for personal use,and a spray to use in the home.Be sure to wash EVERYTHING  in very hot water that came in contact with the lice( a little Lysol in the wash can't hurt either).

Many questions for you...How long has this been like this?  Ever had problems with this before?  Have you recently used a new shampoo, conditioner, styling product, etc? - if so stop using the new product you may be allergic to it. Have you recently colored or permed your hair if so go to a salon or see your physician.\nStress is another factor that could be causing this problem.  Also could possibly be having some thyroid problems... \nBest suggestion is to stop using a new product if you have been using a new one, go see your physician or to a clinic, purchase a products that are natural - that do not have color, scent, etc...something used for newborns would be a good choice.  But if you are losing hair - and have tried other remedies - you should really see your physician so you don't get the problem fixed without creating other problems for yourself!!!  Good luck!

I know of nothing. Most people use a fine tooth comb to remove the eggs.  When we were girls with long hair, my Mom would sit us in front of a bright window and manually slide each nit from each shaft of hair(the best method).  It hurts no matter what method you use. You are pulling and tugging on a strand of hair. I did the same with my daughters when they brought lice home from pre-school.  \n\nYou should repeat the lice shampoo 2 weeks after wards and recheck the head.  You will have phantom itching for years.\n\nYou have to be super clean with all your linens.  You have to wash all your bedding in HOT water and soap, and all your towels(I boiled mine).  Vacuum all your upholstered furniture. Clean, or throw away all hats. \n\nSome people from third world countries just shave the heads of the victim.  I'm sure you've seen pretty little girls in dresses with no hair.  Such a shame.  Trauma for the child, I'm sure.

Quit useing it immediately...Obviously it irritating your skin...Wash with warm water and a gentle soap...rinse well and apply some baby powder for a few days...Wash and repeat, throughout the day...No deodorint for a while...Then change to one with out Aluminum Sulphate in it...It's clogging your pours and trapping the bacteria...That's why it itches...Try and refrain from scrathing it..Wash as above instead...It'll eventually stop itching and clear up... :)...Yukoneze

sounds like a spider to me I'd call the doctor first and he can tell you like if it is severe enough to go to the doc. If it was like a brown recluse then she will definately need to go. My husbands little cousin had the same thing happen to her and they had to cut out the infection. So just keep an eye on it and I'm sure your little one will be fine.\n\nAnd you are not a bad mother, it really makes me mad when people say stuff like that on here. If you were a bad mother you wouldn't be asking anyone, so you just keep doing what you are doing honey and forgot all those other people who are acting like kids on here.

The best that I have heard about would be RID or NIX give her a bath and use the solution on her and then get a fine toothed comb and comb her hair and then have her to lay on a white sheet and you go and sift through her hair and pick the nits out of it and then wash the bed clothes in hot water, wash the clothes, steralize the combs and brushes and then get some of the spray at the store also and spray the beds, couches, blankets, clothes every where she has laid down and I would also treat your self and any other family members also.

See a doctor for some med's.  It's contagious.  I would not use that razor on my underarms, or even on legs that don't show ringworm.

I have a little of it too. I have no idea why it's there, but to get rid of it for good, the best way would be to get laser hair removal. It might be a little expensive, but hey, it'll keep guys from walking away!

Nix is the best thing to buy....you shampoo her hair normally, and while still wet, apply the Nix making sure you massage it in really well from scalp to the ends of the hair.  Let it sit the required time, and then rinse.  After that, you use the comb provided and "comb out" the nits and lice.  The Nix kills both eggs (nits) and the lice that were alive.  It's a rather gross process, but its the ONLY thing that ever worked for my daughters.  We lived in the south, so lice were and are quite prevalent, especially if you lived in the country as we did.\n\nAlso make sure you treat her stuffed animals and dolls and toys.  There is a spray to buy for the animals and dolls, and you can use Lysol to spray her plastic and hard toys with.  Wash ALL bedding (sheets, pillows and cases, bedspreads, etc.) in HOT water, with bleach if possible, and dry on high cycle.  This will rid the bedding, and don't forget to spray the mattress with the lice spray.  \n\nThis will get rid of them completely...just make sure your niece knows not to let anyone at school brush her hair, or to brush her own with anyone else's brush or comb.\n\nAnd CUTTING hair is NOT necessary!  My daughter had hair to her waist, and although the process seemed to take FOREVER (and we used two bottles of Nix to get her whole head treated), it was worth it because it did the job.  And NO, lice don't only come from people who are dirty/nasty, this is a common misconception.\n\nGood luck!\nPS...you can buy all these things at Walmart.

Don't wash it to much and sometimes use a hair-mask. Also don't brush it to much, put a great cream in it!\nIf you wash it change shampoo brand afther 2 months or so. Go to the hairdresser when it splits!\n\nThat should maintain the healthiness of hair, 'cause I don't have problems.
