Have you just found a louse in your child’s head or worse yet, on your own head? Do you feel like your whole world has shattered and is falling apart? Luckily, thanks to modern innovation, there are treatment options available at lice removal clinics which guarantee complete removal of head lice and nits.
Professional treatment services are more reliable since they are licensed practitioners and FDA-approved and some like Lice Troopers even offer at home inspections which can save you the trouble of heading out to the clinic.
While it can be a little rattling to find out you or your child has lice, it’s really more annoying because getting rid of them can be difficult. If done improperly in the beginning you might have to repeat the process over and over which can get frustrating. Moreover, once the symptoms are spotted and a diagnosis is made, it can be confusing to decide which treatment to opt for.
For your convenience we have a guide for you to be able to choose the right treatment at the right time.
Over the counter treatments
There are treatments that are prescribed or can be bought at stores near your home which can be used to get rid of lice at home. These treatments are known as pediculicides and are available in many different forms like anti-lice shampoo or a cream, which can be rinsed or even lotion.
Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant should be cautious about using these methods as these products are not safe to be used in these conditions. Consult your doctor before proceeding with this.
Pesticide or Without pesticides?
There are two kinds of OTC treatments, one with pesticides and one without. The ones that contain pesticides contain Piperonyl butoxide with
pyrethrins. Those who are allergic to ragweed or chrysanthemum should avoid using it.
OTC treatments that do not have any pesticides in them include a silicone bases material called Dimethicone. This has been shown to be more effective than products which have pesticides in them.
Home remedies
A number of products that are available in
households such as petroleum jelly, mayonnaise or even butter are used to treat head lice. They are used to create an environment in the scalp which blocks the air needed by lice to breathe. The way to use them effectively is to lather it on the hair and then wrap the head in a towel or put on a shower cap to leave it overnight.
Professional services
The best option is to consult a certified lice clinic as they use methods like dehydration, which are more effective in eliminating lice. This treatment involves blowing hot air on to the scalp to kill lice. It also needs a professional machine operated by trained technicians.
