Patient's question:
Not long ago, I kept experiencing multiple episodes of itching in the pubic area. Sometimes it was so severe that it kept me up all night. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said I had pubic lice. So, I want to ask what are the treatments for pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
This pubic lice is a itchy skin condition caused by lice feeding on the skin of the genital area and biting it. For this condition, there is generally no need for special treatment. Typically, under the guidance of a doctor, topical treatments such as emu oil are applied to address the symptoms. Before using topical medications, it is recommended to shave the pubic hair completely.If you go back to the hospital for a follow-up, it is assumed that the doctor has prescribed medication for you. Use the medication as directed. In addition to maintaining personal and environmental hygiene, it is important to bathe frequently, change clothes often, and thoroughly sterilize underwear, innerwear, and bedding.
