Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Pediculosis is a parasitic skin disease caused by pubic lice (also known as crab lice). Pubic lice are blood-sucking arthropods, small in size, with three pairs of legs, and they have a tendency to gather in groups. They commonly feed on hair-bearing areas or gaps in underwear, often affecting the pubic and groin areas, and occasionally found in, eyebrows, or beards. The treatment for this condition is simple: remove the lice-infested hair, apply a cleanser solution, and use 1% lindane ointment, or sulfur and mercury ointment, several times to cure it. Treating and sterilizing clothing, items, and bedding after treatment has comprehensive prevention significance.
