Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM
This is a symptom of presence of lice. It bites in collar area and goes back to head. You have not mentioned where you have itching.
If you have itching in head and collar area,
Apply malathion lotion to the scalp and hair, wait for 8 to 12 hours.
Then wash with shampoo. Repeat after 8 wks if itching persists.
Regards
