How to treat pubic lice

Patient's question:

Generally speaking, the condition is good, but there is significant itching in the perineum, and pubic lice have been found for about one and a half months without any identifiable cause.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pubic lice are an infectious skin disease caused by external parasites called lice, and almost all patients are spread through sexual contact.
Guidelines:
For the treatment of pubic lice, first remove as much pubic hair as possible and burn it with fire. Undergarments and underwear should be boiled or ironed. Then, apply a 25%–50% alcohol solution of Stemona (Chinese herbs) externally twice a day for 5 consecutive days. Afterward, use warm rice vinegar to apply and destroy the adhesive substance between the lice eggs and pubic hair, making it easier to remove the eggs. If there is a sexual partner, both should be treated together. Additionally, clean and sun-dry your bedding, clothes, and personal items. Avoid prostitution, solicitation, and promiscuity, maintain good personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change clothes often. Following these steps will definitely lead to a complete cure.
