kind of embarassing...
Ok so my school has had lots of head lice in it. I got checked a week and a half ago, but was OK. Recently, however, I've noticed something. My head hasn't been itching abnormally frequently. I scratch it from time to time, which is true always. However, I've noticed that sometimes when I scratch it, it hurts. Does this mean I have lice? Should I get checked again? I was going to ask the nurse to do so today, but there was other people in the nurses office and I didn't want to do so in front of them. What should I do? I kind of want to get checked anyway. That way, if I'm clear, I can be relieved, and if I'm not, I can at least do treatments to get rid of it ASAP. What should I do? Thanks for answering a kind of gross question...

Have your mom or dad check. You don't have to be a professional to find head lice. If it's there anybody can find it. Remember too, that thinking about lice all the time will make you itch more even if you don't have it! You're probably just fine. :)

Why don't you have someone at your home take a look? The school nurse would be fine. Maybe you could put your name in and ask her to call you into her office when she's available? Head lice are not a sign that someone is dirty, by the way. They move from head to head and every race and socioeconomic class gets head lice. But I understand the stigma.
The tenderness when you scratch is probably not due to lice. It's probably just due to you thinking about lice and scratching your head more often. I am scratching and I haven't been exposed. We just do that in response to the idea of lice. But it never hurts to have it checked.
Hope everything's fine.
