I am breastfeeding. I have a one year old daughter who also has this lice. I have considered taking oral ivermectin and stop breastfeeding. I was if the permetrin cream will do the job. Lice are on my head, pubic hair. I also have them on my feet and ankles lice are under my skin on my face- cheeks forehead. I think I have some in side my nose. Basically, lice is from my head to the bottom of my feet. They are affecting my circulation in my feet and ankles. I am also open to home remedies. I am very sad about my situation. My husband does not believe me. He thinks I am making this whole thing up which I am not.
I have lice that is under my skin. I believe it is body lice. How do I get rid of it?

Do you and your family still have head lice? I am still trying to find the right dose of ivermectin for me. I have taken ivermectin and I haven't experienced any side effects.
Please let me know if you still have head lice. I have some reccomendations.
I'm wondering why your husband has none; regardless, the whole house and beds will have to be treated as well as you and your daughter. There will be lice eggs everywhere.
Thank you Stephen Trelor for your answer. How do I treat my whole house and beds? How do I treat myself and children daughter 1-year old Son 5 years old. Is this something you have experienced yourself?
I have none personally but as almost everyone one of my friends are women I get to hear about lice a lot during school time. Sorry but I would advise talking to a pharmacy assistant (best) or a pharmacist. Sorry.
If her husband smokes the nicotine is a deterrent to the lice and they will avoid him.
