Patient's question:
Today, during a class reunion, a friend mentioned that she has been experiencing some discomfort with her recent physical condition. Other classmates believe she might be suffering from scabies. However, we are not familiar with what scabies is, so we want to help our classmate ask how to treat scabies.Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice are generally caused by poor hygiene or exposure to hotels, public baths, or sexual activity. If a thorough examination reveals the presence of pubic lice, prompt medication treatment is necessary to alleviate symptoms. It is recommended to avoid foods and consider shaving the pubic hair before applying topical medication to relieve symptoms. Pay attention to ensuring that bedding is thoroughly washed and exposed to sunlight during treatment, which can help prevent recurrence. In daily life, it is important to maintain adequate rest.
