Lice be Gone

March 12, 2015

lice

“Share your toys!” – it’s a phrase we’ve all grown up with. While sharing does teach us a valuable lesson, some things are better left unshared. Let’s talk about lice.

These small, pesky insects tend to gravitate to the scalp and neck areas. Lice make tiny bites on your skin to feed on your blood, which causes that telltale itchy sensation. They spread from person to person through direct contact since they can’t jump or fly. This could involve sharing hats or combs or even lying close to someone with lice. And lice’s eggs also get passed easily with close contact and shared items.

While they are a nuisance, lice do not transmit any diseases. There are many over-the-counter products available to treat lice, or you can consult one of our physicians for the most effective treatment options.

If you have any questions about lice, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians in Knoxville to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
