Patient's question:
My friend previously had pubic lice and she treated them with Chinese bellflower root and Chinese skullcap, which worked. But recently, I also have pubic lice, and using Chinese bellflower root and Chinese skullcap hasn't been effective. What could be the reason for this? Hello, what other medications can I use to treat pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, you should pay attention to environmental and personal hygiene. Bathe frequently and change your clothes often. Sterilize and sun-dry underwear and bedding. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist for follow-up treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can apply various scabies preparations externally. Using creosote of Stemonis is also effective. However, be mindful that before applying medication, you should shave the pubic hair to make application easier. In addition to not having sex until the treatment is complete, it is better for the male partner to undergo treatment as well.
