Common Signs Of Head Lice

Red Bumps On The Head

Red bumps on the head are another indicator you may be dealing with head lice infestation. These red bumps may also be visible on the neck and shoulders. The result of the lice irritation means naturally you want to scratch. Scratching is what leads to red sores and bumps on the scalp. If you are unable to visibly see lice in the head, the easiest way to look is to wet the hair, which slows down the lice, and thus makes them easier to see. Shine a bright light on the head area and use a fine-toothed comb to part through the hair. Remember lice are very small, like the size of sesame seeds, so take your time and look carefully.
