What should I do if I have pubic lice? What are the treatments for pubic lice?

Although pubic lice are most commonly found on the pubic area, they can live on most human hair. They have a wider body than head lice and wider legs, which allows them to crawl through loose hair. In addition to pubic hair, pubic lice can also parasitize on the head hair, eyelashes, beards and armpit hair.

Like other lice, pubic lice feed on human blood, so the affected area where pubic lice live will feel itchy from time to time. In addition, pubic lice may also carry other germs that can cause infection in the patient. The main route of transmission of pubic lice is sexual intercourse, so pubic lice infection is considered a sexually transmitted disease. Clothing and bedding are also important routes of transmission for pubic lice. Toilets will not infect pubic lice because the surface of the toilet is smooth and there are no conditions for lice to stay.

Pubic lice is a highly contagious and persistent disease.

Therefore, once the disease occurs, patients must not be shy and delay the best treatment time. They should go to a regular dermatology hospital for professional examination and treatment in time, and choose effective treatment methods according to the doctor's correct diagnosis. The purpose of doing so is not only for your own physical and mental health, but also a responsibility to your family.

Pubic lice patients must pay attention to their daily living habits while actively receiving treatment.

Avoid sexual intercourse, because the main route of infection of the disease is unclean sexual intercourse. Therefore, after the disease occurs, sexual intercourse must be prohibited to avoid infecting the spouse. At the same time, after the disease occurs, the couple should go for examination and treatment together, which is also a way to reduce pubic lice.

In summary, after pubic lice appear, patients should also pay attention to hygiene, keep their bodies clean, especially their genitals clean, take showers regularly, do not share daily necessities with family members, iron and wash contaminated clothes in time, and keep indoor air circulation to avoid infection. In daily life, pay attention to exercise more to enhance your resistance and immunity. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
