Pediculosis, commonly known as a head lice infestation, occurs when small parasitic insects live on the scalp and feed on blood. It can cause scalp itching, irritation, and visible lice or eggs attached to the hair. Head lice can spread through close head-to-head contact and are not a sign of poor personal hygiene.

For pediculosis treatment in Delhi NCR, a qualified Dermatology professional can examine the scalp and recommend an appropriate treatment. Depending on the situation, treatment may involve an approved anti-lice product and careful removal of eggs with a fine-toothed comb. Following the product instructions is important, and treatment may need to be repeated according to professional guidance.

Avoid sharing combs, brushes, hats, towels, or bedding during an active infestation. Close household contacts should also be checked, particularly if symptoms are present.

Av Pharma provides patient-focused healthcare services, including Dermatology care in Delhi NCR, with attention to appropriate assessment and treatment guidance. Nephrology and Oncology services may address other specialised health needs but are not directly related to routine pediculosis management.

Persistent itching, skin infection, or uncertainty about treatment should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Avoid using unverified remedies or excessive amounts of anti-lice products.
