Patient's question:
The doctor is a woman, 34 years old. Unfortunately, she contracted pubic lice. Why did I get this disease? Could you please ask how to treat pubic lice? Is there a reliable and effective method? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Pubic lice infection is primarily caused by sexual activity or poor personal hygiene. It manifests as papules recurring at the base of pubic hair, accompanied by intense itching, which may lead to the discovery of lice eggs. In treatment, pubic hair should be removed, and topical insecticides such as lindane cream or sulfur ointment can be applied. If itching persists, corticosteroid creams like mometasone cream can be used concurrently. Oral antihistamines may also be taken as part of a combined treatment approach.
