Lately, I've been feeling itchy in my lower body, like there are lice. The doctor said it's pubic lice.Doctor's answer:
Medications can include lindane lotion, shampoo, or cream; phosalone lotion; permethrin; sulfur ointment; 25% benzyl benzoate emulsion, etc., all of which have the effect of killing Pediculus humanus corporis adults and eggs.
