Should I Use Ivermectin 6mg Tablet for Head Lice?

Patient's Query

I have alot of head lice and nits in my hair should i use ivermectin 6mg tablet for it or not

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Head lice are little bugs that reside in your hair and give you an itch. The nits are the ovum of their species. Treating head lice is crucial to prevent the occurrence of new infections. Ivermectin tablets are an effective treatment although you should consult your doctor first. Shampoos are some of the over-the-counter treatments that may also be effective. The washing of clothing and bedding is necessary to avoid a second infestation.

A Face Night fall two Times a Month and Unmarried

Female | 22

Nightfall or wet dreams are common and normal phenomena for unmarried young people. It occurs precisely because your body is generating hormones. Having it happen twice a month can't be a cause for alarm most of the time. To minimize the frequency of such occurrences, avoid stimulating activities before bed, keep yourself busy during the day, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I am 21 years old and married, i am facing huge buring sensation

Female | 21

It seems like you’re feeling a lot of burning. The cause may be a urinary tract infection, what you eat, or even acid reflux. Drink lots of water and stay away from spicy foods. If it doesn’t get better, see a urologist.

Female | 22

Resistant acne and severe acne not responding to conventional treatments needs the consultation of a qualified dermatologist. Most of the times resistant acne has underlying hormonal imbalance which has to be diagnosed and addressed. Certain conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, steroid abuse, certain drugs may be cause of severe acne. A dermatogist may advise certain blood investigations, to understand the cause behind acne and may prescribe drugs like Oral contraceptive pills, oral retinoids or antibiotics along with procedural treatment to treat the acne and long term resolution

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?

Female | 30

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

Female | 29

It appears you might have a severe sunburn, exhibiting signs of sun poisoning. When you experience an intense sunburn, sun poisoning can occur. Fever, chills, vomiting, and severe discomfort are symptoms. Ensure adequate hydration, cool your skin with compresses and take pain relievers if necessary. Seek shade and avoid sun exposure until you recover. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine

Female | 58

Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

Hi,my self Bhargav, Recently I observed small holes under the pennies, when I press that holes, white and black substance coming outside, initially i thought like these are formed by hair grow.

Male | 29

You may have folliculitis, which is a common skin condition. This occurs when the hair follicles become infected with bacteria. The holes you can see are where the infection is coming out; this may contain pus hence the white and black things you mentioned. Clean the affected area regularly and use warm compresses too. However, if it’s too uncomfortable for you then visit a dermatologist.

My sister has a severe allergy to benzoyl peroxide. Her face and neck were swelling in the area of contact last night.

Female | 37

An allergic response occurs when your body sees a substance as harmful. It swells to shield itself. Her swelling shows benzoyl peroxide triggered an allergic reaction. Dodging benzoyl peroxide products and consulting a dermatologist about alternative treatments that won't cause an allergy is wise.

Is it safe to take "ibuprofen AbZ 800mg" and Amoxicillin Aristo 1000mg at the same time? I was supposed to drink Amoxicillin but i drunk Ibuprofen by mistake.

Male | 41

It's generally safe to take ibuprofen and amoxicillin together, as they do not interact negatively. This combination may help manage pain or fever while treating an infection. However, if you experience unusual symptoms like severe stomach pain, nausea, or allergic reactions, seek medical advice promptly. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding medication, and if you have concerns about your health or any symptoms that arise, it’s best to consult a dermatologist to ensure you receive the most appropriate guidance.

I have white patch on my lips

Female | 28

Different factors can cause white marks on the lips. One of the main reasons is a fungal infection named oral thrush. This can happen if the immune system is not strong enough. Besides, it might be pathological damage from bites. To get to this point, it is necessary to do that. If the situation does not get any better, the pain becomes unbearable, and a meeting with the dermatologist is probably inevitable to get a diagnosis and cure the disease.

I am a 19 year old female. Within the past 6-10 months I’ve noticed my body hair getting darker, (not thicker,) in certain areas. I was wondering if this was normal and, if so what is the cause(s)? I do not think i have pcos, but I’m not sure if i should be concerned. Thank you!

Female | 19

The darkening of body hair in certain parts due to hormonal fluctuations does not mean something is wrong. This can be due to genetic and hormonal factors as well as environmental and behavioral aspects. Nevertheless, if along with dark hair you also have other symptoms like not having periods over long periods or having excessive hair growth, it is helpful to seek assistance from a dermatologist and do some tests for any irregularities.

I have infection from last 1 week almost in my penis foreskin

Male | 19

It seems likely that you might be feeling issues like swelling, redness, or pain in the area. Infections can occur due to many factors, such as bad hygiene, irritation, or sexually transmitted diseases. It is highly important to keep the hygiene level by washing the area very gently with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or irritants as much as possible. Still, based on your symptoms' long-term duration and their precise nature, I truly advise you to consult a urologist for a full examination and further treatments.

Using a yeast infection tablet is fine if you're a virgin. Yeast infections are common. They can make you itchy and irritated, with a thick, white discharge. The tablet kills the yeast causing the infection. It's safe to use and won't hurt you. Follow the directions on the packaging, and you'll feel better soon.

Mouth burning sensation wight scratches

पुरुष | 20

A burning sensation in your mouth, coupled with visible scratches, may result from several factors such as irritation from hot foods, allergies, or oral conditions like oral thrush. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene by regularly brushing and rinsing. Avoid spicy or acidic foods temporarily to reduce discomfort. Staying hydrated can also help. If symptoms persist or worsen, I highly recommend scheduling a visit with a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough examination and proper treatment tailored to your needs.
