DESCRIPTION
The most common parasites that infect humans resulting skin inflammation are caused by tiny lice (Pediculus) and mites (Scabies). These are transmitted by personal contact, including sexual contact.
PUBIC LICE
Pubic lice (Phthirus pubis or the crab louse) are yellow-gray insects found in the pubic region and transmitted by sexual contact. They are the size of a pinhead, slightly translucent and barely visible against light colored skin. They are called crabs or crab lice, because of their shape and the crab-like claws with which they cling to hair. Eggs can barely be seen as tiny white particles glued so firmly to hair shafts that they are not removed by normal washing. This infestation is most common in adolescents and young adults. Infestation can be found living on the body or in clothing. They affect hairy areas anywhere, especially the scalp, eyebrows or genital area, skin especially areas in which clothing is in close contact with skin, such as shoulders, waist, genital area or buttocks.
HEAD LICE
Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitus) are about the size of a sesame seed and can easily be seen, although they hide quickly in response to light. Their eggs, called nits, are barely visible, whitish ovals cemented to hair shafts. Head lice are extremely contagious, especially among school children. They afflict an estimated 6 to 12 million children in the United States. Twice as many girls as boys get head lice, not because of greater hair length, but because girls have more physical contact with one another and share more personal articles (hats, clothing, combs, headphones) that can transmit head lice. Head lice are rare among African-Americans, possibly because the shafts of hair have a shape that lice cannot grasp easily.
BODY LICE
Body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) are nearly identical in appearance to head lice but are more difficult to find. When not feeding, they tend to hide in the seams of clothing and folds of bedding. Signs of their presence are scratch marks, hives, or small red pimples, usually on the shoulders, torso, or buttocks. If the lice are not treated, the person can develop complications such as bacterial infection of the affected area. Body lice can also spread blood infections.

SCABIES
Scabies is another contagious skin disease caused by mites (Sarcoptes scabiei). The primary symptom is incredibly itchy, red lesions which is a result of when the female mite burrows into the skin and deposits eggs and feces. Closed environments such as nursing homes and child-care centers provide ideal breeding grounds for the parasite, which needs a human host to survive. An estimated 300 million new cases spring up each year worldwide. The number of cases in the United States is currently on the rise, probably because more children under the age of 5 are being cared for in day-care centers.
FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
GENERAL SYMPTOMS:
- Itching and scratching, sometimes intense and usually in hair-covered areas.
- Eggs (nits) on hair-shafts. These appear as tiny white-grey specks. They can infect other hairy areas other the pubic region, such as eyelashes or underarms.
- Small red or bluish bite marks, irritations and hives.
HEAD LICE:
- Scalp inflammation and matted hair. Intense itching on the scalp, especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck.
- Enlarged lymph glands at the back of the scalp.
BODY LICE:
- Unexplained scratch marks on the body, hives, eczema, and red pimples on the shoulders or torso.
PUBIC LICE:
- Continual itching around the pubic area, and perhaps a rash.
- Sometimes the crab louse can be seen moving within the pubic hair.
- Enlarged lymph glands in the groin region.
SCABIES:
- Intensely itchy rash with red patches generally located between the fingers, around the wrists, and on the elbows, navel, nipples, lower abdomen, and genitals. The face and scalp are rarely affected.
- Lesions as thin as pencil lead that mark where the scabies mites have burrowed into the skin; visible in only about 25 percent of cases.
- Itching that is most severe at night.
- Scabs that tend to form over scratched areas.
- Since the distinguishing burrow lines show in only about 25% of infected people, you may have to rely on other signals to determine whether you have been infested. If you find yourself overcome with an overwhelming need to scratch particular areas of your body, especially at night, check with your health care provider. People with flaking skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis, need to be especially vigilant. Because they already tend to have itchy, red skin, they may not notice symptoms until the infestation is widespread.
CAUSES
Tiny (1 mm to 3 mm) parasites that bite through skin to obtain nourishment (blood). The bites cause itching and inflammation. Some lice live on skin, although they are difficult to see. Others live in clothing near skin. Eggs (nits) adhere to hairs.
Contrary to common belief, lice are not related to poor hygiene. In fact, head lice are thought to prefer clean hair to dirty hair. Lice live successfully all over the world, wherever people gather in close proximity, as in schools.
RISK INCREASES WITH
Crowded living conditions.
Family history of lice.
Sexual intercourse with an infected person.
Contact with infected objects such as combs, hats, clothing.
Contact with infected person.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
LICE PREVENTION:
Preventing reinfestation is as important as initial treatment. This is especially true for head lice, which spread quickly from head to head. If you discover lice on your child, notify school or day care authorities at once, since classmates are likely to be infected. Talk with your children and their friends to be sure they understand the risks. You may be reluctant to talk about this subject with strangers, but head lice are a social ailment that can only be dealt with socially.
Call your health care provider if you need help getting rid of lice or if scratching has led to infection.
Bathe and shampoo often.
Avoid wearing the same clothing more than a day or two.
Change the bed linens often.
Don't share combs, brushes or hats with others.
Careful follow up in schools and day care centers where episodes have occurred.
SCABIES PREVENTION:
The best way to prevent getting scabies is to avoid contact with the mite. For some people, especially those who work in hospitals, day care centers, and other crowded conditions, that may be difficult. If you contract the parasite, take basic steps to avoid reinfection and infecting others.
Apply a pediculicide from the neck down and leave it on for at least 8 hours. Make sure anyone who has had physical contact with you also applies it, even if they do not show symptoms.
Wash all linens, towels, and clothes in hot water. Store stuffed animals and other hard-to-wash items in bags for at least a week.
Wash all tables, chairs, floors, and vacuum all rugs.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
Infestation is usually curable with medicated creams, lotions and shampoos. Allow 5 days after treatment for symptoms to disappear. Lice often recur.
POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS
Infection at the site of deep scratching.
Transmission of human pathogens.
TREATMENT
GENERAL MEASURES
TREATMENT FOR LICE
There has been some controversy about the dangerous side effects of some pediculicides, which kill mites and lice. Several alternatives exist, including herbal remedies, for those who want a more benign (though also potentially less effective) solution.
Gamma benzene hexachloride (also known as lindane) was at one time the most commonly prescribed pediculicide, but if used improperly, it can attack and permanently damage the central nervous system. Multiple applications, especially in young children, have led to brain damage, paralysis, and seizures. In 1990, the FDA approved the use of permethrin, a cream that works well against scabies without potent side effects. Permethrin has quickly become the treatment of choice of most dermatologists, especially for children.
The goal of treatment is to remove all lice and nits. This usually requires repeated efforts, because a few adults may escape by hiding in clothing or bedding, and eggs are difficult to kill.
The following measures apply to all members of the household, and to any sexual partners of household members:
STEP ONE - REMOVING LICE FROM HEAD AND HOME:
To avoid spreading lice, infected children should be kept home from school until they are treated.
Before beginning the process of cleaning the hair of a lice infected individual, make sure you are working in an area that is not carpeted, preferably a bathroom with tile floors. Make sure there are no rugs on the floor, towels or clothes lying around (they make great hiding places for the lice and nits whose homes are being disturbed). It is best to remove shirts or clothing near the area to be cleaned. If the infected hair is long, it may be beneficial to loosely tie the infected hair up on top of the head either with clips or in a ponytail. The lice will try to run and flee the area to be treated when they sense danger, so cut off their escape routes. They may hide in or behind ears, or on the neck. Dip a cotton swab into a safe cleansing liquid and clean out the ears then paint a ring around the outside of the ears and the hair line around the head.
Use the prescribed medicated shampoo, cream or lotion. To get rid of head lice, the most common treatment is to kill the adults with an insecticidal shampoo and to clear out the nits with a special fine-toothed comb. The safest and most effective preparation is permethrin cream rinse, available over the counter. For best results, follow the directions exactly. Other family members should be treated, about 60 percent of infected children have relatives who carry lice.
On a dry head, start at the nape of the neck along the hairline and work around the head saturating the hair as you go moving towards the crown where the hair is tied up. Remove the clips or pony tail and continue to apply the lice cleanser using enough to completely saturate the hair.
Massage the head and work into a lather then comb through hair to ensure coverage (use a metal, regular toothed comb). Wrap or tie the hair back up on top of the head. Every ten minutes or so, massage the hair until 30 to 40 minutes have past. (Follow the product directions regarding time limits for a specific brand of treatment. They may vary depending on the active ingredient of the product.)
Reapply the cleanser and work into lather, then comb through hair again (with a metal regular toothed comb). Let sit in hair for another 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Dry hair and comb with nit comb to remove any remaining lice or nits. The "nit picking" should be done in daylight, outside if possible, and never on carpet. Clean all surfaces and floors after working on hair. Use hot water and a non-toxic liquid cleanser. It is imperative that the head be closely examined for remaining nits.
STEP 2 - CLOTHES AND HOME:
Lice are highly contagious and it is extremely important that they are eliminated as fast and completely as possible. Proper sanitation of anything in contact with lice is critical to be sure re-infestation does not occur.
When lice are first detected, it is important to launder, in a separate load, everything with which the infected person has come in contact. We recommend the use of a non-toxic laundry solution for this process. Do NOT dry clean or use chlorine bleach. Machine wash all clothing, towels, and bed linen in hot, soapy water. Bed clothes (including pillows), jackets (and any jackets that may be hanging close to the infested person's jacket), clothing (everything in the laundry basket), hair combs, brushes, ribbons and doodads, rugs and mats should be laundered in hot water at least 140 degrees. It is best to soak laundry in "pre-soak" or "pre-wash" for at least 30 minutes. Dry in a the dryer's hot-air cycle. Iron the clothing and linen, if possible. Washing removes the lice, and ironing destroys nits.
Items that are not washable, such as stuffed animals and sofa pillows, may be placed in an air tight plastic bag and sealed for 30 days, causing the lice to suffocate. Carpets, furniture and car seats should be vacuumed twice. After each vacuuming, the vacuums bags should immediately be removed from the vacuum cleaner, sealed in a plastic bag and disposed of outside of the house. After vacuuming, those same areas should be steam-cleaned, if possible.
Dry clean non-washable items and seal in a plastic bag for 10 days. You can sterilize bedding or other items by placing them in plastic bag for 14 days, the nits will hatch in about a week and die of starvation. Another storage recommendation is to place them in dry heat of 140°F for three to five days.
Boil articles such as combs, curlers, hairbrushes and barrettes. These can be disinfected by soaking in hot, soapy water for 10 minutes. Hair does not necessarily have to be shaved, but this may have to be an option if all else fails.
Various safe enzyme based products may be used to kill lice. These enzyme based products actually deteriorate the skeleton of the lice, the larva and the nit. Enzyme based solutions may be added to the wash cycle and sprayed directly on the infected areas of the body or clothing. Spray (with lysol or similar product) all furniture that comes in contact with infected body areas.
OTHER SUGGESTIONS
For those who prefer to avoid the use of insecticides, try a "combing only" technique. Wash the hair with ordinary shampoo and conditioner, and leave wet. With a fine-toothed comb, stroke slowly outward from the roots through on lock of hair at a time. Lice will land on the back of the comb, get caught in between the teeth, or fall off. Space at least 30 strokes over the head. Repeat every three days, Because newborn lice do not lay eggs for the first week, all the lice should disappear after about two weeks of combing.
Pubic lice can be treated with over-the-counter medications containing pyrethrins (natural insecticides). Your sexual partners will also have to be treated. Crabs are sometimes found on eyelashes or eyebrows; to remove them, use an ophthalmic ointment such as physostigmine or coat the lashes with petroleum jelly; both of these methods should be supervised by your health care provider.
To treat body lice, wash the entire body with soap and water. If this is not effective, you may have to use an insecticidal preparation - either over-the-counter or prescription. Follow instructions above for clothing, linen and personal items.
If medication does not work or is working slowly, you may have to shave hair from infected area (such as with pubic lice in the genitalia region) and keep it shaved until lice problem has been resolved while still using medication. This will eliminate the eggs that attach themselves to the hair and the medication will continue to kill the adult lice.

TREATMENT FOR SCABIES
Crowded, unsanitary, or institutional living conditions are conducive to the spread of scabies. Scabies can be a particular problem in nursing homes and day care centers. It is spread by skin to skin contact and is highly contagious. The areas most commonly affected are the buttocks, genitals, wrists, and armpits, as well as the skin between the toes and fingers.
For diagnosis, your health care provider takes a scraping of skin from the affected area and examines it under a microscope. If one family member develops scabies, all the family members of the household need to be checked and possibly treated. Children under the age of 15 have the highest incidence of scabies and are usually the first in the family to contract it.
To get rid of scabies, those people who are infected and everyone they come in contact with must be treated at the same time. Since the mites can survive for two or three days on almost any surface, including tables and countertops, toys and linens, all areas must be thoroughly vacuumed and washed. Items that may be difficult to clean, such as stuffed animals, should be bagged and stored for a week.
A bath with soap and hot water will wash away some of the mites and their debris, but this step alone will not get rid of all the parasites. Most health care providers prescribe a pediculicide, which you apply to your skin from the neck down. You may need some assistance with this treatment since you must be certain to cover all areas. Leave the lotion on the skin for 8 to 12 hours and then wash it off. Do not reapply the lotion without your health care provider's approval.
A topical scabicide called lindane (gamma benzene hexachloride) was once considered a standard treatment for scabies. In recent years, however, it has largely been replaced by permethrin, which is believed to be safer and cause fewer side effects. Scabicides are not recommended for children under the age of 6 or for pregnant women. In such cases, a milder sulfur solution is usually recommended.
After you rid your skin of mites, you can take an antihistamine for the itch (which can still rage for days after treatment because of feces left in the burrows) and apply corticosteroid cream to reduce inflammation. It may take one to two weeks for the itching to subside, even after treatment. Calendula salve, cool compresses, and cool oatmeal baths are natural alternatives to those medications.
MEDICATION
Anti-lice (pediculicide) cream, lotion or shampoo (e.g., Lindane or Permethrin). Apply creams or lotions to infected body parts according to instructions.
To use the shampoo:
- Wet the hair. Apply 1 tablespoon of shampoo. Lather for 4 minutes, working the lather well into the scalp.
- If the shampoo gets into the eyes, wash out right away with water.
- Rinse hair thoroughly and towel dry. Don't use the same towel again without laundering.
- Comb the hair with a fine tooth comb dipped in hot vinegar to remove the lice. The comb must run through the hair repeatedly from the scalp outward until the hair is completely free of nits.
- A single application of shampoo is effective in more than 90 percent of cases. Don't use more frequently than recommended, because the shampoo may cause skin irritation or be absorbed into the body. A repeat application may be necessary in 10 to 14 days.
- If the lice infect eyelashes, the lice must be removed carefully by a health care provider. The prescribed medications should not go into the eye or on the eyelashes. You may apply petroleum jelly to the eyelashes for 7 to 8 days after removal of the lice.
ACTIVITY
Head lice are extremely contagious. Until live lice and viable nits (eggs) are eradicated, infested persons should be excluded from day care, school and other social activities to limit the chance of further infestation. This includes moderately isolating the person from physical contact with humans or pets for 24 hours following application of treatment. The lice-infested person or child should wear long hair up, preferably in braids if possible, to avoid spreading the lice to furniture, clothing and others. Head lice can be obtained at any time, with numerous reoccurrence, regardless of age or gender. Lice are more prevalent for children during the early summer months when playing closely together outside.
People should not share clothing, hats, combs or bed sheets with a person infested with lice. Regularly inspect for head lice in elementary school children and in individuals confined to nursing homes or other institutions where crowding may be a problem. Changing your life style can effect your ability to resist lice. Lice, like any parasite, prey on the weak and infirm. Keep your family's immune system healthy by using non-toxic cleaning products and nutritional supplementation.
Special shampoos can help kill lice, but this is not enough to completely rid a child or family of lice infestation. All surroundings must sanitized. Most chemical treatments for killing lice contain potent pesticides and insecticides known as pediculicides. These pediculicides have been known to cause immune suppression, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, circulatory collapse behavioral changes, neuromuscular damage, chronic skin eruptions, liver damage, asthma, respiratory failure, stillbirths, birth defects, cancer and even death.
Unfortunately, many uninformed parents use treatments containing pesticides and tend to use more, leave them on for longer periods of time, or apply them more often, increasing the risk of dangerous side affects.
If infestation was caused by sexual encounter with an infected individual, do not have physical/sexual contact with this person until both of you have been successfully treated for infestation. This will reduce the risk of re-infestation.
DIET
No special diet. However, a well-balanced nutritious diet should be followed to help in healing. Supplements can be taken to help healing and boost the immune system.
