Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year, and I haven't gotten married yet. I have always been quite early to mature since I was a child, getting my period earlier than other girls and losing my virginity at a young age. My pubic hair is very dense, but I never shave it. Lately, it has been itchy down there, but scratching makes it even more painful. The doctor said it's pubic lice, how long does it take for pubic lice to be cured with medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Scabies usually requires treatment for one to two weeks. Additionally, it is necessary to remove pubic hair, and then apply sulfur ointment externally in coordination. Alternatively, you can also use bug spray. If you have a partner, they should also undergo a thorough examination. If they also have scabies, they need to be treated together. Your underwear, towels, bed sheets, and blankets should preferably be boiled once to prevent cross-infection.
