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 apparent cause.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pubic lice is a contagious skin disease caused by external parasites called lice. Almost all patients are infected through sexual contact.
Guidance:
For the treatment of pubic lice, first, as much pubic hair as possible should be shaved and burned with fire. Underwear and briefs should be boiled or ironed. Then, apply a 25%–50% stemonine alcohol solution externally twice a day for 5 consecutive days. Afterward, use warm rice vinegar to apply, as it can break the adhesive 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, bedding, clothes, and personal items should be washed and exposed to sunlight. 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.
