Patient's question:
My husband has small bugs in his groin today. What kind of help do you need: How did pubic lice come about? My husband noticed small bugs in his groin today and checked the information, which was identified as pubic lice. We had sexual contact yesterday, but I didn't find any bugs on myself. Besides, we are using medication together for treatment. He feels a bit itchy, while I have no sensation at all. Do I still need to focus on medication?Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice primarily infest pubic hair and can be transmitted through sexual contact. They can cause intense itching of the skin. Avoid scratching, as it can easily lead to infection. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene and keep the affected skin clean and dry. You can use 50% emulsion of stemona and 10% sulfur ointment to remove pubic hair. Both sexual partners need to be treated simultaneously. Clothing should be thoroughly disinfected. Develop good living habits and maintain a positive mood. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
