Diagnosis
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. The doctor will examine your head and scalp for lice and lice eggs (called "nits").
Do not self-diagnose and self-treat head lice. Some treatments can cause irritation and should only be used by people who have the infestation.
