Hello! Pubic lice are mainly caused by poor hygiene, especially when infected in public baths. For treatment, the pubic hair should be shaved clean, and then apply Lindera oil or Ocimum basilicum cream externally. With patience, it can be cured in about a week. At the same time, clothing and bedding should be boiled in hot water and washed thoroughly. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist for follow-up at a regular hospital.
