Hello, pubic lice are a type of pediculosis, a contagious parasitic disease caused by the bites of pubic lice that live on the pubic hair and surrounding body hair, leading to itching. Treatment involves shaving the pubic hair, local cleansing, and applying topical ointments, such as 10% sulfur ointment, twice or three times a day.
