Do you have head lice if you see a bug in your head?
No, but you could have really bad dandruff. The medical name for dandruff is pityriasis capitis, and it's the most common condition of the scalp. Many people think they get dandruff because their scalp is too dry. They stop washing their hair with shampoo or wash it less frequently, because they believe it makes the condition worse. This is not true. Flaking only happens because of an increased turnover of skin cells. Dandruff is believed to be associated with an overgrowth of a fungus commonly found on the skin and scalp, called Pityrosporum ovale. It can be difficult to prevent dandruff completely, but it can be controlled. The condition may also improve as you get older. Anti-dandruff shampoos containing the antimicrobials selenium sulphide (egSelsun) or zinc pyrithione are helpful for mild dandruff.

Head lice: ask a friend with good eyesight to examine your scalp closely in a bright light. Body lice: examine the seams of clothes you have been wearing next to the body. I mean take them off and look at them straight away. It's no good if you take them out of your drawer. Pubic (crab) lice: Look at the skin under your pubic hair with a magnifying glass. All these lice are very small, whitish, and look like little crabs or scorpions. They move slowly.
