I don't think I have lice but I'm paranoid?!

Question: I don't think I have lice but I'm paranoid?

My brother and sister came back from the doctor's yesterday with news that they have lice. When I heard that, my head started to itch and I began to think I had it. Before I knew they had lice, I didn't feel itchy or anything. My mom has checked my hair twice, and I've checked my roots for eggs, but she says she doesn't see anything at all and I agree. However, my head still feels itchy. Is this because I keep thinking about it or might I actually have lice?

Answers:

Its just because you think you have it. Lice can't hide that well. If you've checked twice, they're probably not there.

It may be worth going through with a lice comb. Do it after putting conditioner on your hair, and then wash it all out. That helps desettle the eggs. If you are itching, just keep going over with a comb and hopefully it will show that you have no eggs. Otherwise, you could be itching due to having a dry skull or something like that.

You probably just have dandruff, because the outside is dry and that causes dry skin to flake off and be itchy.
