do i have dandruff or lice?

it can be alarming when you see your kids constantly scratching their heads. you may worry about whether they’ve gotten lice at school or nursery. however, this isn't the only possible reason. it could also be an allergic reaction or dandruff. it’s important to understand the difference, as the symptoms are similar, but the consequences are quite different.

how to treat lice

what does dandruff look like?

dandruff can result from an excess of seborrhea or an allergic reaction, but it isn't contagious like lice. while both cause intense itchiness, here's how to differentiate between them:

  • lice: lice lay eggs (nits) in the hair, which are coated with a sticky substance that forms an insoluble "glue." to remove them, you need specialized tools like lice combs or a professional lice treatment. these are the only effective ways to naturally kill lice eggs.

  • dandruff: dandruff consists of small pieces of dry skin that come off the scalp and can be easily removed. after washing the hair, dandruff typically disappears, while nits remain stuck to the hair.

for both dandruff and lice, it's essential to take action. for dandruff, visit a dermatologist for proper treatment. for lice, seek professional help at the Lice Out center for effective lice removal.
