Do lice grow inside the vagina?



Pubic lice do not usually grow inside the vagina.

Pubic lice usually live around the pubic hair and may grow in several areas such as the eyebrows and armpit hair, but not inside the vagina. The disease may cause severe itching in the genital area, and scratching the area may lead to ulcers and changes in skin pigmentation, which can have an effect on the body.

People suffering from pubic lice disease should go to the hospital in time, can take over-the-counter lice shampoo or gel and other drugs for treatment, which can help kill pubic lice.

Patients should also practice good hygiene in their daily lives and disinfect all clothing and bedding.
