Do I have lice?! D: Please help :'(

[Anonymous]

I thought I had it for about a month now... Before I thought I had it Because I saw a bunch of white specks in my hair and I thought they were eggs, but my head wasn't itching at all. Turns out I just had dandruff. Then a while later my head started itching A LOT! I thought it was just dry itchy scalp, Because I searched and searched but I didn't find any bugs. Although, I had to try to search my self because my mom hates the thought of me having lice so she checked once and nothing was there and she refuses to check again Because she says I'm paranoid. My head has been itching a lot on the top of my head, and this morning I ate breakfast and I went to was my hands. When I did, I looked in the mirror and saw a tiny red thing crawling on my head. I literally saw it moving up to my scalp. I immediately called my mom and she said she didn't see anything but I know she saw it. I started crying and I saw one more red thing moving down my hair and I cried even more. My mom said it was just food from breakfast, but we had pancakes, and pancakes aren't red. Is this lice? If so, how can I treat it? Please help! Thank you! :)

Shew, this question made me itch. LOL.

It sounds like lice, hun. the best thing you need to is get your mom to go to the drug store and get the head lice treatment kit. It comes with the shampoo, conditioner and a small comb that will be used to get them out.

You're going to be okay first of all.

You don't need to go to the doctor. They sell kits at any drug store that is a special shampoo and treatment to kill the lice. It shouldn't be too expensive. It's a long tedious process, but it will kill the lice.

The mind can do wonders on the eyes and can play tricks on you but google what you saw then if you can get a friend or relative besides your mom to check it out then do so. After that if it may STILL be something go to the doctor.

Yep, I just saw one move...

...no but really, how are we supposed to know? Go to a doctor

Go to the doctor. LICE AREN'T RED. And you're panicing. You may want to see a psychologist to get your nervous paranoid levels under control. Lice doesn't kill lol.

When I first read this...I thought of pubic lice.

Go to the doctor...idk..maybe use some tick or dog shampooor something...but I think its better to go to a doctor about this...

No its not lice. It sounds like its just more of a psychological issue. Relax. Usually you can't see lice this easily.
