Patient's question:
Pubic lice, some small flesh bumps on the scrotum. High fever, after taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever went away. Do pubic lice cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Disease speculation: Pediculosis pubis primarily manifests as severe itching, which is more pronounced at night and does not cause fever. Excessive scratching can lead to secondary infections such as folliculitis, impetigo, and boils.Advice: You should maintain good personal hygiene. Avoid sharing towels when working or traveling, and do not use others' bedding. In daily life, boil and wash towels, bed sheets, and underwear/underpants to kill germs through sunlight exposure. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, follow a regular diet, and avoid foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
