Where pubic lice are usually found in women

Pubic lice in women is an infectious disease caused by the bite of pubic lice. The infection is mainly confined to the pubic hair part of the pubic bone area, but it can also occur in the armpits, eyes, and other hairy places, and involves the armpit hair, eyelashes and eyebrows. People with pubic lice disease or their spouses have a history of unclean sexual contact, or have stayed out before the onset of the disease. Sometimes small grayish-white gravel-like particles, which are lice eggs, can be seen adhering to the pubic hair. Slow-moving pubic lice may also be seen, and sometimes they can be seen burrowing inside the skin, usually exposed. Areas infected with pubic lice, such as the perineum, armpits, and eyes may have intense itching, especially at night when itching is worse, and the lesions are scratches and scabs, or scattered patches of blue hemorrhagic petechiae. There are often spots of dirty brown blood on the patient’s underwear, which is caused by bleeding from the blood-sucking place of pubic lice. Repeated scratching can lead to ulceration, redness and swelling of the genital area. Pubic lice are contagious and should be seen immediately upon discovery and treated as prescribed.
