We aim to raise awareness about pubic lice, their spread, their symptoms, and how to manage and prevent an infestation.

Pubic lice are tiny insects that infest body hair, primarily pubic hair, underarms, facial hair, and beards or eyebrows. They are less than 2mm long, yellow-grey or red. Due to the crab-like shape, they are specially adapted to hold the hair shafts. Their eggs, also known as nits, are tiny, and the color of their heads implants on hair shafts.

Combing hair with a fine-toothed comb or using a magnifying glass can help find the lice and their eggs. It’s also important to check other parts of the body where lice usually infect, such as the armpits, chest, and legs.
In addition to checking for lice, we recommend screening for other STIs, as pubic lice often coexist with different infections.

Treating pubic lice is usually straightforward and highly effective. At our clinic, we recommend medicated lotions, creams, or shampoos that contain insecticides such as permethrin or malathion.

It's essential that all sexual partners and close contacts are treated at the same time to prevent re-infestation. Washing bedding, towels, and clothing in hot water (50°C or above) can also help eliminate lice from the environment.
