Hi,
It may be pediculosis capitis... Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take tab. Ivermectin 12 mg weekly for few weeks. And apply permethrin 1% lotion on the whole scalp at night. Cleanse the scalp in the morning with savlone liq. diluted in water. Repeat the procedure for few weeks till the clearance of lice. Improve hygiene and immunity.
Hope this helps.
