Question] Is permethrin cream effective for removing nits from hair?
Hi everyone,
I have a question about permethrin cream. I know it’s commonly used to treat head lice, but I’m wondering if it is actually effective at removing nits (lice eggs) that are firmly attached to the hair.
Most of the live lice seem to be gone, but the nits are still there, and it’s becoming really embarrassing because people keep noticing them and asking about them.
Has anyone here used permethrin cream and had success getting rid of the nits, or does it only kill the live lice? If it doesn’t work well for nits, what actually helped you remove them completely?
