Just discovered today that my three kids and myself have caught head lice. It's our first ever experience of this. I immediately got out the nitty gritty comb and combed all their heads through with conditioner then did mine as well as I could. My dh has brought home some lyclear shampoo but couldn't use it tonight as it was too late and I'd already had to put the kids to bed. I plan to shampoo all of us in the morning and go over with the comb again. Is it necessary to change bedding etc? What else should I do?
Also, my son has had an itchy pimply rash the last week mainly around his neck and chest but also a very little bit on arms and legs. The chemist thought maybe allergy and advised piriton but this was before we realised about the head lice. Could it be related to the lice???
