Patient's question:
Doctor. I have been feeling some redness and itching in my lower body for a while. Yesterday, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with pubic lice. I checked some information and found that some people say it can be cured with a lotion. Can metronidazole and chlorhexidine lotion cure pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice are related to infections through sexual activity or using public baths, public toilets, etc. You can use metronidazole and chlorhexidine solution to apply locally. It is also recommended to use topical medication to alleviate symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to shave the pubic hair promptly before medication treatment. Pay attention to disinfecting bedding and underwear by boiling and sunning during the treatment period. In daily life, it is important to maintain adequate rest.
