Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXXXXX


Permethrin is the recommended anti lice treatment.
You can use Scaltix 1% lotion. Apply it over the scalp and wash it off thorough after ten minutes using Himalaya baby shampoo.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.


Take care
