About a month ago, I got a lot of good feedback from you about how to handle a head lice problem without the harsh chemicals. The only problem was that I had already used the over-the-counter chemical treatment before I started asking questions.
Now we can't get over the after-effects. No lice but the scalp irritation, itching, and flaking just won't stop and are possibly more bothersome for her than the lice were before. She's always had sensitive, eczema skin, which is all the more reason the chemicals were a horrible idea for her. I went back to her normal shampoo, thinking that trying anything new was probably a bad idea, but this is getting worse, and I have to do something.
Really. Absolutely no lice or nits. I've been a compulsive checker since the itching has gotten so bad.
I know there are a variety of shampoos out there to help with itchy scalp (and there was a thread about that about the same time as my nit thread), but I wonder if any of you have experienced this and may have a specific recommendation based on what I know caused the problem. Thanks!
