Head Lice treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Head lice are small insects that live on the scalp and feed on blood. They are a highly contagious condition, common especially at school age, and they spread through direct contact or by sharing personal items.

Common symptoms: itching of the scalp, a tickling sensation in the hair, and the presence of nits attached to the base of the hair.

When is it worth consulting? When the itching persists or the infestation recurs, a professional opinion helps confirm the presence of lice and clear up questions about home management.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist, and in the case of children the pediatric dermatologist, is the one who can examine the scalp and provide appropriate guidance to each family.
