Overview

"Known colloquially as ""crabs"" and scientifically as ""Pthirus pubis,"" pubic lice are microscopic parasitic insects that live in the hair of the pubic and vaginal regions of humans. Lice are a typical problem in the genital area, but they can also infest other areas of the body with coarse hair, including the armpits, chest, and even the eyelashes and eyebrows. - While sexual contact is the most common means of transmission, pubic lice can also be shared through the sharing of personal items. Pubic lice are microscopic, crab-shaped insects that can cause itching and irritation in the pubic area and may be visible in the hair. Lice and their eggs, called nits, can often be seen clinging to individual hairs. - Pubic lice are treated with medicated shampoos and lotions that eliminate both the lice and their eggs. Any articles of clothing, bedding, or personal objects that may have come into touch with the lice must be washed and disinfected properly to prevent reinfestation. Pubic lice are a common concern, but they can be properly treated and managed with good cleanliness and treatment. It is crucial to seek the advice of a medical practitioner if you feel you have a pubic lice infestation."
