Having a big problem with said creatures. My 8 yr old dd seems to be constantly getting them. I go through her hair every day with the comb and conditioner, have used special treatments, etc etc, seemingly to no avail as a week later they seem to be back. Does anyone else's dc get them with this regularity? A second problem is that she has pretty severe psoriasis so is itchy anyway and has a very scabby head, sometimes bleeding in patches. Doctor has prescribed hydrocortisone but it's really difficult to apply this to the scalp. Not sure if they are associated but the head lice occurrences have upped significantly since the psoriasis began. Any tips for either/both?
