Pubic lice is a parasite on pubic hair. This parasite often crawls on pubic hair and lays eggs, which can cause severe itching of vulva. The crawling insect body can be seen on pubic hair. After sexual contact infection, there are often high-risk sexual life histories in clinical practice, or there are multiple sexual partners, so pubic lice can be obtained. It is recommended that after all pubic hair is removed, iodine can be applied locally for treatment. When iodine is applied, special attention should be paid not to let iodine flow to the vulva mucosa, which will cause local irritation symptoms and pain. Most of the symptoms will disappear after 5 days of continuous medication. The pubic hair removed must be burned off with fire to prevent pubic lice from infecting other people. It is recommended to replace all previously worn underwear after cure and replace it with new underwear to prevent cross infection.
