What is the best way to treat pubic lice

Pubic lice are a type of parasite that often appear on the vulva and can occur in both men and women. The main causes of pubic lice are poor hygiene or transmission through a partner. Pubic lice spread very quickly and are quite stubborn. If not treated thoroughly, they can easily recur. So how should you treat this disease? Let an expert introduce to you various methods of treating pubic lice.

Having pubic lice is quite troublesome, so at least you should take it seriously. Because in addition to the itching and other symptoms caused by pubic lice, it is also an indicator and reflection of personal hygiene and sexual health. (Pubic lice are usually transmitted through sexual contact.) Also, treating pubic lice is a long process, which is quite similar to treating athlete's foot, so if you don't pay attention to hygiene afterwards, it is likely to recur.

As for pubic lice themselves and the symptoms after getting pubic lice, I will not go into details here. For details, please go to Baidu Encyclopedia. Now let's talk about the treatment process;

1. First of all, it is best to shave the pubic hair. Apply sulfuric acid soap when taking a shower and then shave it off with a disposable razor (it is best to shave the inner thighs and below the belly button as well). There may be some controversy as to whether or not to shave pubic hair. Some people think that buying a bottle of Lice Removal and spraying it a few times will be enough and the effect will be immediate. But I think it is also reasonable to shave off the pubic hair, because pubic lice generally survive on body hair, especially pubic hair, and using only Lice Remover may not be able to completely remove them, while shaving off the pubic hair will leave the pubic lice with nowhere to survive. It is obvious which is more effective. Moreover, if you don't shave the pubic hair, it will be difficult to apply the ointment to the skin, and the effect of killing pubic lice eggs will be greatly weakened.

2. Choose an ointment. After reading several answers, they all recommended Lice-Free (I haven't used it, so I don't know its specific effect). However, as I suggested above, I will recommend several ointments after shaving your pubic hair. After consulting my doctor friend, he told me about two ointments prescribed by hospitals for pubic lice. One is Lindane ointment and the other is sulfur ointment. Lindane ointment is not easy to buy in general pharmacies because it is poisonous, so it is troublesome to buy Lindane ointment, but it is particularly effective in treating pubic lice. Another sulfur ointment is more common in general pharmacies and is sold there (5 yuan per stick). It is mainly used to remove the stratum corneum of the skin. The application period of pubic lice eggs is about two weeks, so it is enough to apply it on the affected area for two weeks after taking a bath.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene. After getting pubic lice, it is best to scald your underwear with boiling water, and wash the quilt covers and sheets in time. Have fewer sex appointments and do not infect others. In daily life, you should also be careful not to directly touch other people's sheets. It is best to use a squat toilet when going to the toilet.
