develops into a rash Explanation: Bites from head lice can cause intense itching and irritation on the scalp, but these symptoms may not appear until at least two months after the lice move in. A rash at the nape of the neck may also develop. Read more: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/lice.htm#ixzz2h7ZA...

You might develop a rash behind your ears and at the back of your neck – this is caused by a reaction to the louse faeces. If you scratch a lot, you may also develop skin sores, which can become infected. You might also see nits stuck to your hairs shafts as they grow out. http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/health-information/directo... Symptoms Itching of the scalp is the main symptom. A scalp rash may be present. The back of the neck is the favorite area. http://www.seattlechildrens.org/medical-conditions/symptom-i... As Lisa rightly says, 'lucir' doesn't only mean 'shine'. It's another way of saying 'appear', 'look like', 'display', etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2013-10-08 09:38:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've just discovered a number of references for 'scratch marks'. Other features of a head louse infestation are: Scratch marks, and a sticky weeping scalp Small itchy pink bumps around the edge of the scalp, particularly on the back of the neck Signs of infection include crusting of the scalp, enlarged glands in the neck, and sometimes repeated episodes of impetigo If there are large numbers of lice, the scalp may smell unpleasant http://www.bad.org.uk/site/823/default.aspx -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2013-10-08 09:39:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Red bite marks or scratch marks are often seen on the scalp or neck. http://www2.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef607.asp It's made my head itch! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2013-10-08 09:52:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I can't add a reference but the same words apply. Pediculousis, or infestation with body and/or head lice, causes little irritation initially. After weeks of continued biting, some individuals may become sensitized and suffer an allergic reaction. Head lice infestation results in intense itching of the scalp behind the ears and base of the hairline or nape of the neck. Sores may form on the head from scratching and may become infected with bacteria. The symptoms of body lice infestation are scratch marks, hives, eczema and a red rash on shoulders and other areas covered with clothes. Pthiriasis, or pubic lice (crab lice) infestation, results in continued itching in the pubic area, a rash, and sometimes discoloration of skin from continued feeding by crab lice. http://www.uft.org/our-rights/lice-pediculosis |
