Patient's question:
I currently have pubic lice, but I'm not very clear on how to get rid of them.Having pubic lice is very uncomfortable.
Doctor, could you please tell me how to completely eliminate them?
Thank you, Doctor.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this symptom is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and contact with contaminated underwear, towels, bed sheets, toilet seats, etc. Others can be infected by touching items contaminated with pubic lice.Guidance: The treatment for pubic lice involves removing pubic hair, as well as local cleaning and applying topical creams. Common medications include:
(1) 10% sulfur ointment, applied 2-3 times daily.
(2) 30% stemonin tincture, applied 3 times daily. Underwear and inner clothes must be washed immediately and thoroughly disinfected.
