Hi, do use a nit comb after head bath with perlice lotion. Keep hair length manageable and scalp clean. Lice can spread from one person to another. Treat all contacts with lice symptoms to prevent reinfestation. Wash all clothes and bed linen with hot water and iron them. Nit comb is equally important. Be persistent, and lice will go away.

Perlice which contains permethrin kills the lice, after rinsing you need to remove them using a comb. However it does not kill nits, and thats why you have to reapply 7 days later to kill the new lice! do not forget to treat all your family members.

Your daughter has to keep her scalp clean and needs to avoid mingling closely with her friends who may lice on their scalp. She can apply lotions that are used to clear the lice. The permethrin cream is useful and is widely used.
