Hi, my 12 yr old daughter has had head lice for about 5 yrs now, we are still battling it. I have tried all the over the counter lotions and potions none of them work, I have been to the dr's more time than I care to remember, I even got her a referal to the dermatoligist dept at our local hospital who told me to SHAVE her hair off....! I don't think so!!!!! My 6 yr old daughter also gets them but we manage to get her clear, I just don't know why I can't get rid of my eldest daughter's problem. My two son's don't have this problem thank goodness! Please help as I've reach the end of my tether and don't know what else to do :-(
