The usual first sign of head lice is itching, observing your child itching their head usually around the top of the ear area, or back of the neck.
Then as a good parent you would check their scalp for other signs such as usually eggs which would be little brown very tiny seed looking things stuck to their hair near the scalp around the hairline above the ears ,around the back of the neck and at the front of the forehead.
The first sign for yourself would be the same, but some people also say that the feeling of something crawling around on your scalp is a good indication.
Good idea to get someone to check for you or use a mirror and a comb to check for yourself.

Between fingers, wrists, elbows, underarms, shoulders, back, chest, neckline, upper arm, waist area, lower abdomen, groin, inner thighs, bottom of feet.
The rash may not have any specific shape, size, or appearance, but most commonly a person will exhibit bumps in various places that spread, sometimes in clusters. Often times the bumps on the hands will be small and raised, in clusters or in tracks up the hand originating from between the thumb and index finger. Sometimes their is no clear sign of bumps, but rather large dime size red areas that are slightly raised above the surrounding skin. A person will often itch themselves raw and scabs will begin to form on various parts of the body.
Furthermore, scabies rashes can be confused with poison oak, or ivy, and some forms of dermatitis.
