How to treat pubic lice

Patient's question:

Many insects in the past 10 days or so

Doctor's answer:

Pubic lice are a type of pediculosis, a contagious parasitic disease caused by the bites of pubic lice that live on the pubic hair and surrounding body hair, leading to itching. It is primarily spread through sexual contact.
Recommendations:
1. Sulfur ointment can only relieve symptoms but not cure the condition. Symptoms are likely to recur if stopped early. Generally, it is recommended to use it for 1-2 months, applying 3-5 times daily. The effectiveness is poor.
2. Lindane cream also relieves symptoms of pubic lice but has high toxicity and cannot cure the condition. It is generally recommended to use it 3-5 times daily for 20-30 days. The effectiveness is poor.
3. Stemonin tincture is prepared in hospitals. High concentrations can irritate the skin, while low concentrations are ineffective. It is generally recommended to use it continuously for 1-2 months, and ensure daily cleaning for half an hour. The effectiveness is poor.
