2854. It was narrated from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah, that he was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in Iḥrām and he suffered an infestation of head lice. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded him to shave his head and told him: “Fast for three days, or feed six poor persons two Mudds each, or sacrifice a sheep.
Whichever one of these you do will be sufficient for you.” (Šahīh)

Commentary
1. This incident belongs to the expedition of Hudaibiyah, because the intention had been for the performance of 'Umrah. All of them had entered Iḥrām.
2. "Whichever you fulfill": So to say, there is no sequence in it. There is sequence in some other expiation.
