Hi.
As per your case history of nits and lice, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't apply hair oil at least for 3 weeks.
2. Apply a permethrin 1% lotion once a week on scalp for 1 hour and then wash it with Ivera shampoo.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral ivermectin, co-trimoxazole, fluconazole taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
