What medicine should be used to treat pubic lice?

Patient's question:

What medicine to use for pubic lice?

Doctor's answer:

The best way to deal with pubic hair is to shave it off. Underwear should be boiled or ironed. Apply 1% malathion powder externally. Chinese herbal remedies include 25% to 50% stemona tincture, 1% r-666 cream, or 25% benzyl benzoate emulsion, all of which can eliminate lice. You can also use a local spray of DDT, followed by washing after 3 minutes.
