Dear Dr Kumar, I took the name of the tablets you recommended for my skin condition to my local doctor. He said those tablets are prescribed for epilepsy and neuralgia which involves constant and very strong pain. They cost about $100 per month. He did examine my scalp and saw evidence of some scratching but no lice. He described my conditions as more of an obsession. I have a son who also experiences this condition on occasion but he refuses to use any nit treatment but instead shaves his hair very short. He touches his face a lot at times. He has a few bites which he has scratched on his forehead. He is 27 and has had chicken pox as a child but not shingles. I didn t have shingles until two years ago but had this condition for 6-8 years intermittently before that. I am a teacher and have grandchildren which gives some exposure to nit like conditions. The itch in the pubic region can be quite deep seated. The only relief is to use KP 24 or shave the area. I m prepared to believe that both my son and I might have nerve ending problems. Would Vitamin B shots hel?. My son has, had one major episode if depression about 3 years ago but has weaned himself off medication. We need better answers than this and cannot afford expensive medicines for long periods of time. My local doctor believes that diagnosis should not occur without seeing the patient.
