After developing pubic lice disease, men can experience localized red rashes and itching. Failure to intervene in time can lead to complications such as folliculitis.
When infected with pubic lice, the infected area may show symptoms such as intense itching, tingling, red rashes, and green petechiae. The itching is especially pronounced at night. Scratching due to itching may result in scratches and scabs on the affected area. At the same time, scattered blue hemorrhagic petechiae and spots of dirty brown blood on the underwear may appear, which are caused by bleeding from the blood-sucking places of pubic lice.
Excessive scratching can lead to secondary infections with complications such as folliculitis. In some patients, grayish-white sand-like particles of lice eggs and slow-moving pubic lice can be seen in the pubic hair and other parts of the body.
The disease is highly contagious and once diagnosed, prompt medical treatment is essential. During the treatment period, you should also do a good job of isolation and protection, avoiding sexual behavior, so as not to cause cross-infection.
