Keep these tips in mind when using lice treatments:
- Always follow the product instructions carefully.
- Use a fine-tooth comb or the lice comb that came with the product to comb out all nits. (Some prescription products don’t require combing.)
- If you’re using a lice shampoo, be sure to apply it over a sink or tub while you and your child are fully dressed. Don’t use the product while showering. You want to limit how much of it touches your body.
