Patient's question:
Yesterday, my sister came home to help take care of the kids. I noticed she looked very tired, her hair was messy, and she seemed listless. I asked her what was wrong. She said that a few days ago, small bumps had appeared around her vagina, and they were itchy and painful. The doctor diagnosed it as pubic lice. She has been under a lot of stress recently. I want to know what medications are available to treat pubic lice.Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice generally tend to reappear in the area of pubic hair, where parasites are most likely to be transmitted. This can result in the formation of small, tube-like hair follicle openings, which are indicative of parasite infestation. Treatment methods include the following: First, shave off the pubic hair, and then use some sulfur soap or lindane cream to wash and control the infestation, which is quite effective. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene clean. Avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
