What condition is primarily caused by lice infestation?

Pediculosis
Scabies
Dermatitis
Ringworm

The correct answer is: Pediculosis

The condition that is primarily caused by lice infestation is known as Pediculosis. This term specifically refers to the health issue resulting from an infestation of lice, which are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. There are different types of Pediculosis depending on the lice involved, such as Pediculosis capitis (head lice), Pediculosis corporis (body lice), and Pediculosis pubis (pubic lice). This condition manifests through symptoms such as itching, irritation of the scalp or affected area, and can lead to secondary infections if scratching occurs. Understanding Pediculosis is essential for barbers since they may encounter clients who have it or inquire about it during consultations. The other conditions listed, while potentially affecting the skin, are caused by different organisms; for example, scabies is caused by a mite, dermatitis involves inflammation of the skin that can have various causes, and ringworm is a fungal infection.
