These are scabs left by scratching. Do you know that if a single louse crawls into the scab it could cause an infection in the open wound!!!!!!!!!
This is a picture of a few of the wounds and scabs I found on one of my charges.
This little darling was not old enough to remember how long she had been scratching and therefore how long she had been infested.
The infestation to the naked eye did not look that old and the scabs and sores were quite new.
Your child may not be able to tell you they are itchy as the itch happens gradually and at intermittent
intervals and they dont realise what it is. Please do something before it gets to this. The nits may not hurt but dirty finger nails in open wounds can be quite harmful.
