==Complications==
Some people will develop a secondary [[skin]] infection from scratching. [[Antihistamines]] can help relieve the itching.
==Prognosis==
Lice are usually killed with proper treatment. However, lice may come back, especially if the source is not corrected. For example, a classroom with many infected children can cause kids to repeatedly get lice. When one case is detected in a family or a school or child-care center, every child at that location should be examined for head lice. This can help prevent further spreading.
