Question

What do I need to know about lice?

Answer 1

When these tiny mites infect the scalp and skin, they trigger intense itching.

There are different types of lice. The type you have depends on the part of your body that’s affected:

Head lice affect the scalp.
Pubic lice (also called “crabs”) affect your genital area.
Body lice affect other areas of the body and are often found in seams of clothing.
