What are Head Lice?
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live on the human scalp and feed on blood. They are extremely common, especially among school-aged children, and spread easily through direct head-to-head contact. They cannot fly or jump, but they crawl very quickly.
It is a misconception that head lice are a sign of poor hygiene. In reality, they can infest anyone, regardless of cleanliness. The main symptoms are an itchy scalp and the presence of lice or their eggs, known as nits. Nits are tiny, oval-shaped specks that are often mistaken for dandruff. Unlike dandruff, nits stick firmly to the hair shaft and are difficult to remove.
Introducing an Effective Treatment Option
When it comes to treating head lice, a key ingredient you will often find is Sumithrin. This is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a neurotoxin to kill lice. It is a very common and effective ingredient, and medications containing it are sold worldwide under various names. For example, in other countries, you might find similar products under names like Sumithrin or Nix. In Japan, you can get the same effective treatment.
We carry Sumithrin Shampoo Premium, a popular and effective choice for treating head lice. It is a medicated shampoo that kills adult lice and their larvae.
How to Use Sumithrin Shampoo Premium
Using this shampoo is simple and straightforward.
- Preparation: Wet the hair thoroughly.
- Application: Apply 10 to 20 mL of the shampoo to the scalp and hair.
- Lather and Wait: Lather it up just like a normal shampoo and leave it on for 5 minutes.
- Rinse: Rinse it off completely with warm water.
For complete eradication, it’s important to repeat the treatment on specific days to target newly hatched lice that may have survived the initial treatment. The recommended schedule is to use it on Day 1, Day 4, Day 7, and Day 10.
After treatment, you might notice some empty nit shells still attached to the hair. The product comes with a special comb designed to easily remove these stubborn shells. For children, it’s essential that a guardian supervises the application process.
