Benzyl Alcohol
This prescription lotion works by causing asphyxiation and making it difficult for lice to breath. You need to use at least applications to get the necessary results. Just like other treatments, you need to apply it directly on your scalp, then wait for a few minutes before rinsing out with water. Repeat the treatment after 7 days. Benzyl alcohol could be used for those people who are above 6 months old. However, keep in mind that it would cause skin and eye irritation. [12]
