Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year, and I haven't gotten married yet. I have always been quite early to mature since I was a child. My menstruation started earlier than other girls, and I also lost my virginity at a very young age. I have very dense pubic hair, 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. You can also use bug repellent. If you have a partner, they should also undergo a thorough examination. If they also have scabies, they should be treated together. It is advisable to wash your underwear, towels, bed sheets, and bedding with hot water once to prevent cross-infection.
