Pubic lice (Crabs) are a common sexually transmitted infection caused by tiny parasites. The lice use their claws to grab and hang on to pubic hairs while feeding on blood and can cause itching in the genital area.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE PUBIC LICE?
Signs and symptoms include:
-
Itching in the pubic or groin area due to irritation from the lice bites.
-
Seeing lice moving in the pubic hair.
-
HOW IS IT CAUGHT?
Pubic lice may be passed on:
-
Having close bodily contact (skin-to-skin contact) with another person who is infected with pubic lice.
-
By sharing clothes or someone else’s bed (pubic lice can survive for some time away from the body).
Pubic lice found in the pubic hair differ from those in the scalp, although pubic lice can occasionally be found in other areas of the body including eyelashes, chest hair and armpit hair.
CAN PUBIC LICE BE TREATED?
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis is made by visual assessment (both eggs and adult lice are easily visible to the naked eye).
There are several over-the-counter shampoos on the market for crabs. These should be use as directed; reapplication may or may not be necessary. After treatment, egg casings (nits) may remain visible on the hair shaft. To remove these, a fine-toothed comb dipped in vinegar can be used. Shaving off the pubic hair is not necessary.
Bedding and clothing currently being worn should be machine washed in hot water or removed from body contact for 72 hours.
WHAT ABOUT MY PARTNER?
Current sexual partners should be treated and offered a sexual health screen. People who share a house or flat with someone who is infected need only be treated if they have slept in the bed or use the towels or clothing of the person who is infected.
HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF AND MY CLIENT FROM PUBIC LICE?
Preventative measures are limited to stopping the spread of the infection or preventing re-infection. To avoid catching pubic lice again:
-
Make sure sexual partners are treated as well.
-
Wash articles that may be infected, such as sheets, towels and clothing, in hot water.
