Patient's question:
I don't know if it's because of insufficient hygiene, but my groin area always feels unusually itchy. Even after continuously scrubbing for a long time, it only gets slightly better but not completely relieved. Could it be due to pubic lice? What should I do if I have pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice are generally caused by poor hygiene. If you use public toilets or stay in hotels, you may also become infected with pubic lice. To carefully check for the presence of pubic lice, timely medication treatment is necessary. It is generally recommended to shave the pubic hair first and then use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and make sure to wash and sun-dry bedding. This can help alleviate the condition. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid infections due to weakened immunity.
