Head Lice and Scabies

Head lice and scabies are two common skin conditions that can cause itching and discomfort. Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on blood. Scabies are tiny mites that burrow into the skin and lay eggs.

Both head lice and scabies are contagious and can be spread through close contact, such as sharing hats, combs, or pillows. They can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces.
