NoteMember experience, not medical advice. Symptoms overlap between infections and only a test can tell them apart.

Seconding this strongly. Go to a pharmacist rather than improvising. It is a two minute conversation and they will not be surprised.

No. Do not put lice lotion near your eyes, this is one of the few hard nos in this whole area.

Eyelashes are handled differently. The usual approach is a bland ophthalmic ointment applied to the lash line over a period of days, which suffocates them rather than poisons them. Your pharmacist or clinic will tell you what is appropriate where you are.

Also mention it wherever you were treated. Lashes suggest the infestation is more widespread than the original site, and they may want to check whether anything else was missed.
