Can headlice cause an allergic reaction? Hives, spots etc. DD has had some very bad reactions over last month. At first doc put it down to virus but that now gone and she still getting them on and off. Hives, some swelling, itching, spots etc. Sometimes all over her but often top of back and around face/hairline.
She is well inself and we are waiting for referral to allergy specalist.
She has been so bad we have had to give her intermittant steroids so keen to find cause if we can.
Just realised that she has had nits at same time and that respite periods overlapped with application of Hederin and wet combing to deal with nits.
Anyone any experience of nit allergy?
