Pubic lice are not dangerous, but they can be frustrating as they make the genitals and anus itch. They may also make their host feel feverish, irritable, or run down. People with pubic lice can usually see clumps of lice eggs in their pubic hair and sometimes spots of blood from lice bites in their underwear. Your regular doctor or staff at any health clinic or hospital can check whether you have pubic lice if you’re unsure.
Thankfully, pubic lice are easy to get rid of with medication. This usually comes in the form of a shampoo, gel, foam, or liquid. You can get this medication from any drugstore without a prescription. If the problem doesn’t resolve itself, you can get stronger medication with a doctor’s prescription.
