Pubic Lice

Pubic Lice under a microscope

Pubic Lice are passed on by sexual contact or by close physical contact. Actual sexual intercourse is not required to pass on these nasty parasites. They live on coarse hair (pubic, underarm, legs and chest)

Symptoms include:

  • Itchy skin, black powder (mite droppings) or white eggs in underwear

Treatment:

  • Creams, lotions and shampoos.
  • The need to shave the genital area is a myth
