Pediculosis is a skin disease caused by parasites - lice. They feed on blood, penetrating into the hairy parts of the body, where they can cause significant discomfort to the affected person.
Pediculosis is transmitted through close contact with an infected person or through shared personal hygiene items.
Diagnosis is based on the detection of lice or their eggs on the hair.
Treatment includes the use of special shampoos and lice medications, as well as treating clothing and bedding.
Prevention includes maintaining personal hygiene, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and periodic treatment of personal hygiene items.
The treatment of pediculosis is carried out by a dermatologist or trichologist.
