An infestation of lice is called "pediculosis." It can occur on the scalp (head lice), body (body lice), or in the pubic region (pubic lice). Each type of lice infestation can lead to itching and discomfort, and it commonly requires specific treatments to eliminate the lice and their eggs.
Pediculosis this is an infestation of lice whether it be body lice, pubic lice or head lice.
Body lice infestation, also known as pediculosis, occurs when small parasitic insects called body lice infest the body and clothing of a person. These lice feed on human blood and can cause intense itching, red bumps, and skin irritation. Treatment typically involves washing affected clothing and bedding, as well as using medicated lotions or shampoos to kill the lice.
Most treatments apply to all types of lice infestation and, particularly with head lice, treatments are an area of great controversy.
