Common Questions and Answers about White skin lice

Avatar n tn f you think you have lice, after you wash your hair, rinse it with a mixture of white vinegar and water (half and half). Lice do not like vinegar and will give up residence.
Avatar n tn If there is no lice then look for red skin covered with greasy-looking white or yellowish scales on the scalp that maybe easily removed. The itchiness and bad odor maybe caused by seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. It can be treated with antifungal solutions, medicated shampoos, or corticosteroid. Best to have a doctor look at it though for correct diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I have head lice, which im treating with nix, and my mom combs out my hair with a lice comb every other day, and i dry comb it with the same comb once its been sanitized in between. but one of my hairs, which probably had a louse or nit came in contact with my pubic hair, and i saw eggs and found dead nits so i shave that area, not bald, but almost there. its very flaky down there, and i noticed white things in the opening of the vagina which wasn't on hair but skin.
Avatar m tn What has me concerned is I have scene tiny white specs very far few and in between in the pubic hairs , however they shake off and come off very easy so im wondering if this is dry skin. They say the eggs of lice attach to the pubic hair and you have to slide them across the hair follicle and they dont just wipe off . I went to the dr after trimming the pubic hair and he said he didnt see anything he thought it was jock itch. I do see white specs from time to time but they come right off.
Avatar n tn My head has been itching like crazy when It get hot. When I scratch it like dry skin comes out or like scales..
Avatar f tn t look like flakes of skin; they were smaller and circular; more dense. So then i thought of lice; but in my magnifying glass it didnt look like that, and my hair isn't really itchy. Plus, I regularly use nizoral which is actually prescribed to kill lice (among other things). In fact I had just used nizoral right before my girlfriend noticed the dots. Please let me know what could this be??? Need your advice!!!! Please HELPPPP!!!
Avatar n tn Oh and I forgot to mention I notice what looks like lots of blackheads all over my skin and tiny white specks on my clothes.
Avatar n tn I never was a person that could help from itching, and when i had chicken pox, athletes foot and lice, i itched until i scraped skin off. so i havent stopped itching (everywhere, yes, groin included) for almost 6 weeks now because im either itchy or in pain from itching so much. My only guesses are herpes zoster (although the duration and patterns do not appear to be consistent with such), jock itch, scabies, an allergic reaction to fleas, or bed bugs.. please help, its driving me insane!!!!
Avatar f tn My scalp feels more dry than oily and the dandruff flakes are small and white and do remove from my head when i scratch - reassuring me they arent lice eggs.
Avatar f tn It's called dandruff, The white flakes are dead skin.
Avatar f tn What's wrong with I have about two months that I Have intense itching scalp and I feel bumps on my neck and it itches too. I know I don't have lice because my husband checked for me.
Avatar n tn I've been at war with my daughter's hair for shy of 6 years now. Ever since she was 2 and in day care the doctors pegged her for having hair lice. Over the past 6 years she's been treated with numerous posionous lice treatments, and the "nit" looking things keep coming back! She has "never" had itching/redness of the scalp or any live louse. The "nit" looking things are ALL over her head but are ONLY located in the top section of her head no where else.
Avatar f tn Ok so all over my skin is itchy and in my scalp, i’m constanly itching. On my body there is nothing when i scratch at it but on my scalp there is this hard white speck that comes off when i scratch sometimes. Now i’ve had lice before and i know what the bugs look like. However the other night i was laying down in my bed and something litterly jumped off my scalp and i examined it and it was a tiny white bug that had black spots on it. I was so freaked out by this.
Avatar f tn It's not lice, it's not dandruff, tried listening to advices, they still are growing. My head becomes really itchy and I can't focus in school because of it! I also saw there's dried blood on some of them. It keeps popping out even when I just got out of the shower. Please help! Sorry for bad English. English is not my very first language, but I hope you can still understand what I'm saying.
Avatar n tn maybe you have pubic lice (crabs). The lice are very small, about 1 mm in diameter; brown; and lie very flat against the skin. They grab onto hairs, including the microscopic ones on apparently hairless skin, like on the penis -- so they have to be picked off, not just rubbed. And they move very slowly, and without close inspection people sometimes don't realize they are alive. Finally, people with pubic lice can get red or bluish itchy spots where the lice have fed.
Avatar m tn my hair is falling out l feel things crawling over my face scalp ears eyes eyebrows really all over in my nose also in my genital area its white eggs and no l don't have lice its making my life miserable even my kids are scratching and losing hair pls help cant take anymore This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Crawlling-sensation-under-my-skin--scalp--ears--eyes--nose--but-Docs-cant-find-anything-what-can-I-do/show/1486670">Crawlling sensatio
Avatar m tn Someone in the household came home one day with head lice after helping her friend with roaches in her house. So at first, I thought this may have been lice. It hit me all at once - itching from time to time anywhere on my body, bites or perhaps sores that has white-nit-like, tough substance in them. Squeezing(I'm aware this was a bad idea) the bumps would easily release it. There were a few bumps that had what almost seemed like tiny, white hairs sticking out..
Avatar m tn It started to itch longer than a year ago and about 7 months ago it got the white-ish crust that you see in the picture. It isnt just that spot it extends out to my leg and penis. I tried shaving the hair and I've applied Lice medicine twice thinking its Crabs but no difference. It itches like crazy please tell me what this could be.

Avatar f tn I've always dealt with dandruff in the winter, but I can't tell if the little white things in my hair are flakes or nits. I did the lice treatment, but nothing showed up when my hair was combed out. I have painful slightly itchy bumps and pimples on my scalp. I'm not insanely itchy, but I know you don't have to be super itchy to have lice. I don't know what else it would be if it's not lice, maybe the treatment didn't work. If it's not lice what is it?
Avatar n tn Hi Dr. Sharma, thank you for responding to my question. I have gone BACK to see the doctor, and what they gave me was Lice regiment, I didn't mention this in my note, but did see a white round thing/s in the front of hair line. But, even after applying the solution there were still crawly things moving across my feet, quickly, and I was in a place called Staples at the time. So, I wasn't in grass or anything like that.
Avatar n tn Took weeks to get rid of head lice and had to cut my very long hair into a buzz cut, awful. Finally got rid of lice but also felt like mites crawling on my skin and pin prick bites. Felt as though they are constantly crawling up my nose and face. I can go for a few days and be fine but then it starts back. I even left LA moved back to Ny because this is so traumatic. What are these????? I have used everything under the sun, Ivermectin, 3 doses, permethrin 6 doses, Tea Tree oil, Rid, etc.
Avatar f tn Ok so for about 3 weeks now I have had an itchy scalp. I thought it was just from dandruff, which I get from this time of year, along with an itchy scalp. However, twice I have found centimeter-sized bugs in my hair when I was taking a shower. My mom has gone through my hair thoroughly three times and has found no bugs, only white flecks, which she can't distinguish dandruff from nit eggs.
Avatar f tn Try this. Use the regular stuff that kills lice at the pharmacy BUT afterwards, put white vinegar in your hair and massage your hair and then shampoo your hair with shampoo and use a lot of conditioner. Do this for at least a week. The white vinegar doesn't kill adult lice but it dissolves the nit glue that holds the eggs that hatch out later. Also conditioner helps keep your hair slick and hard for lice to have anything to hold onto as well.
Avatar m tn It could be lice but not head lice body lice or crab lice crab lice tend to get blood from anywhere on the body not just the head like commen lice , or it could be bedbugs so i say you should go to a clinic and asked if they can treat you.
Avatar n tn My puppy has these little white bugs on him. The have brownish heads and move slowly down the fur that is combed out. We rescued him and took him to the vet where he was treated for fleas and other vermon. Any idea what these little bugs might be?
