Pubic Lice treatment in Ciudad de México

Pubic lice, also called crabs, are small insects that lodge in the hair of the genital area and, less frequently, in other hair-bearing areas, feeding on blood.

Common symptoms: intense itching in the pubic region, especially at night, skin irritation, and, at times, seeing the parasites or their eggs attached to the hair.

How they are spread: mainly through close intimate contact and, less frequently, by sharing clothing or bedding.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist handles skin problems, the gynecologist can evaluate it in women, and the general practitioner guides the initial consultation. With persistent itching in the genital area, an evaluation confirms the cause and clarifies the appropriate hygiene measures.
