Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year, and I haven't gotten married yet. I have been quite precocious since I was a child, getting my period earlier than other girls and losing my virginity at a young age. My pubic hair is very dense, but I never shave it. Lately, it has been itchy down there, but scratching makes it even more painful. The doctor said it's pubic lice, how long does it take for pubic lice to be cured with medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Scabies usually requires treatment for one to two weeks. Additionally, it is necessary to remove the pubic hair, and then apply sulfur ointment externally in coordination. Alternatively, you can also use stemonone tincture. If you have a partner, they also need to be examined carefully. If they also have scabies, they should be treated together. It is best to boil wash your underwear, towels, bed sheets, and bedding once to prevent cross-infection.
