Go to a pharmacy, there is a shampoo for the removal of hair lice and their eggs. Its nothing to be worried about and is very common. Hair lice actually breed most in clean hair. It will be gone in 12 hours with this treatment.

Don't delay, do it today.

use pure olive oil for your skin

I am obliged for your advise. Great i really like this board everybody is so good & kind hearten.

Don't worry about the head lice thing. Head lice only live on really clean scalps, they can't survive on a scalp that is dirty. There is a good shampoo called PARA-PLUS...buy that from a pharmacy and use it as directed on the box. Also buy a NIT-COMB. Essentially, it is a double teethed metal comb. You need to hold your hair strand upwards and comb towards the sky. This will ensure that nits (lice eggs waiting to hatch) will not stick to your hair. Keep using the shampoo for 7-10 days after your lice problem disappears to deal with unhatched eggs. Also, if you are a male and this lice problem is really irritating you, you may consider shaving your head. Lice live on hair strands and once the hair is gone so are the lice. Just a suggestion, if u indeed are male.

As for the dry skin, olive oil is good. You can also go for any emollient available in the pharmacy. Essentially you want something oil based so it traps the water near your skin and stops it evaporating. Vichy, Eucerin, Roc, Mustela are all great brands that make such products. Mustela is relatively cheaper than the others. You could also look for a urea based product. Urea works really well for dry or cracked skin. Uriage is one brand (I think...don't quote me on this Uriage sentence).

If you use the olive oil, be sure to sitting in a roasting pan and turnover every 20 minutes until done.
