3. Pediculosis
Body lice can be quite a nuisance. These small bugs can affect anyone of any age or gender and of any race. One of the skin diseases that is caused by body lice is called Pediculosis. When this develops a person will likely start to itch. This will turn into a rash. The person who has body lice will then start to notice white dots all over their body. These white spots are actually nits. These nits then turn into live lice that will crawl all over your skin. When this happens, the skin may eventually start to thicken and then become discolored.
This eventually will lead to open sores appearing all over the body. These tiny lice can go to any part of the skin and make their home there. It is important to make sure that you get proper treatment for pediculosis because if it is left untreated it can cause many other symptoms that are worse.
