Patient's question:
As the title says, I previously had pubic lice and applied Lindane cream for 4 days. By the third day of application, I basically didn't notice any eggs anymore. But on the fourth day today, I felt some itching in certain areas. When I applied the cream to these areas just now, I found some eggs again.Hello, is this a live egg that has reappeared, or is it a dead egg that has fallen off after the application of the cream over these days? I can't tell...
Doctor's answer:
The main difference between live and dead pubic lice eggs is that the former are easier to peel off. Shriveled eggs are dead, while round eggs are live and harder to remove. It is recommended to soak in warm water with Jieryin, which usually takes several treatments to eliminate. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area and change underwear frequently, sterilizing them regularly. The above advice is for the question "What are the differences between live and dead pubic lice eggs?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
