What medicine can be used to eradicate pubic lice? The best treatment method for pubic lice
Everyone has a lot of hair on their genitals. However, these hairs are very important to humans, but many people usually do not pay attention to personal hygiene, so they are prone to lice. This is also a key factor for people suffering from pubic lice, which poses great harm to the human body.
Patients with pubic lice may experience the following symptoms:
1. Itching:
Pruritus is the main symptom, but the degree of itching varies from person to person. Pruritus is caused by lice stabbing or piercing the skin with their claws, and itching when lice bite and inject saliva. When lice suck blood, injecting saliva is because saliva can prevent blood from clotting, which is beneficial for sucking blood. Lice suck blood several times a day, so itching is paroxysmal.
2. Rash:
The bite site of pubic lice often has micropores (invisible to the naked eye), local redness, small erythema, and scabs on top; Micropores take about 5 days, with local allergic reactions and frequent papules. Due to the frequent occurrence of infection during scratching, pustules, exudation, and scabbing may occur.
3、 Blue and gray spots:
Nearby the affected area, there are 0.2-2cm large blue gray spots that are not painful or itchy, and can last for several months. These blue gray spots can also be seen in areas such as the chest, abdomen, and femur. The reason for this blue-gray spot is currently unclear, and may be related to saliva entering the bloodstream when bitten by pubic lice.
