Overview
Head Lice and Scabies Treatments
Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on blood, causing persistent itching. Scabies is caused by a microscopic mite that burrows into the skin, causing an intensely itchy rash. Both are highly contagious and require prompt treatment of all close contacts and household members simultaneously to prevent reinfestation.
Cloud Pharmacy stocks head lice lotions and solutions from trusted UK brands including Hedrin, Full Marks, Lyclear and Derbac-M.
Important Safety Information
Treat all close contacts and household members at the same time
Wash bedding, towels and clothing used in the previous 48 hours at 60°C or above
Perform detection combing on days 5, 9 and 13 after treatment to remove newly hatched lice
If treatment does not appear to be working after a full course, speak to your pharmacist - the lice may be resistant to the active ingredient used
Available Treatments
Hedrin 4% Lotion (Dimeticone)
Hedrin works by physically coating and suffocating head lice rather than using chemical insecticides, meaning lice cannot develop resistance. It is the recommended first-line treatment.
Full Marks Solution
Full Marks works through a similar physical mechanism to Hedrin, coating lice to kill them.
Lyclear (Permethrin)
Lyclear contains permethrin, a traditional insecticide-based treatment for head lice and scabies.
Derbac-M (Malathion)
Derbac-M contains malathion, another insecticide option. Use with care around children and people with asthma.
