What is Pubic Lice (Crabs)?

Pubic lice, commonly known as crabs, are tiny parasitic insects that infest the hair in the pubic region. They are most often spread through close personal contact, including sexual contact.
These parasites cause intense itching and irritation in the affected area. In some cases, you may even see the lice or their eggs (nits) attached to the hair.
Diagnosis is typically made by visual inspection, and treatment involves the application of medicated lotions or shampoos designed to kill the lice. It is also important to wash clothing and bedding in hot water to prevent re-infestation.
Maintaining good personal hygiene and avoiding close contact with an infected person are important steps in preventing the spread of pubic lice. Prompt treatment can alleviate symptoms and prevent further transmission.
