Patient's question:
I have been sick for a long time, and this condition hasn't improved. How effective is sulfur ointment in treating crabs? I can't buy sulfur ointment.Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be pubic lice, which is an infectious parasitic disease that causes itching when the lice bite nearby skin, primarily feeding on pubic hair and body hair around the anus. The spread of pubic lice mainly occurs through sexual contact, so pubic lice infection is believed to be a sexually transmitted disease. Clothing and bedding are also important routes for the spread of pubic lice. Restrooms, however, cannot be infected with pubic lice because the surfaces are smooth and lack the conditions for lice to stay.The treatment for pubic lice includes shaving the pubic hair, as well as local washing and applying topical creams.
