How to deal with pubic lice during pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A pregnant woman with pubic lice should, if possible, shave off the pubic hair and burn it with fire. Apply sulfur ointment externally. Generally, the amount of topical medication absorbed is not significant, so it will not have a major impact on the child. Pubic lice are parasites that live on pubic hair. Wash your underwear separately and boil it before hanging it in the sun to dry. Bedding and sheets should also be thoroughly cleaned.
