Patient's question:
I am 26 years old and have a daughter (11 months old). For the past three or four months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Even after taking medication and injections, it takes a long time for my period to arrive. An ultrasound examination did not reveal any abnormalities. However, I have noticed lice on my pubic hair recently. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you accidentally get infected with itchy pubic lice, don't be afraid. And don't suffer from the itching just because you're embarrassed to go to the hospital. Now, Xiuyan will teach you a good self-treatment method for pubic lice:1. Generally, you can buy sulfur ointment at a pharmacy. This stuff will make your underwear greasy when you apply it, but for the sake of treatment, just use it. At the same time, some pharmacies also sell a product called sulfur sulfide ointment, which is a liquid like shampoo. Using it in combination works well.
2. Clinically, sulfurum baihuai tincture, which contains acid, is commonly used to remove lice and eggs. However, you can't buy this ready-made tincture, so here’s how to make it yourself: Buy 30 grams of Chinese medicine baihuai from a pharmacy, add 100 milliliters of 50% alcohol (or 65-degree liquor), and then add 1 milliliter of pure acetic acid (if you don’t have it, add some edible vinegar). Seal it for 48 hours, then it’s ready to use. Apply it to the affected area.
