-Pediculosis

The invasion of the skin and hair by lice is called pediculosis.

Explanation;

-Lice are parasitic insects that feed on human blood and can infest the head, body, and pubic area. Body lice are only found on humans on the body.

-Pediculosis occurs due to infestation of the hairy parts of the body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adults of lice. The crawling stages of this insect feed on human blood, which can result in severe itching.

-Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing.
