Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 34 years old and male. Due to my previous lifestyle not being very disciplined, I have now contracted pubic lice, which has been very distressing for me. It has been itchy and embarrassing, and I would like to ask what should be done about pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
If you have pubic lice, always maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the genital area, bathe frequently, and change underwear often. You can shave the pubic hair completely, apply lindane cream, or use stigmasterol solution for treatment. During treatment, avoid sexual activity to prevent mutual infection and recurring relapses. Wash underwear with boiling water, and use sulfur soap to clean your regular clothes. You can also bathe with sulfur ointment. Take medication on time. Pay attention to personal hygiene habits and maintain a healthy diet.
