Kerosene will make living lice dead or very ill. But will probably not eliminate unhatched louse eggs.
Rather than setting fire to your head (or crotch) use a lice removal shampoo.
And if you are too embarrassed to buy one, get a tick and fleas shampoo from a pet shop and use that - its the same stuff in a different bottle.
