Pubic lice are a type of sparganum that rely on sucking human blood to sustain their own lives. They usually appear on the pubic hair of the body.

What happens after being bitten by pubic lice?

1. Itching: Itching is the main symptom of pubic lice, but the degree of itching varies from person to person. Itching occurs because pubic lice use their claws to pierce or puncture the skin, and itching occurs after bites and when saliva is introduced. Pubic lice introduce saliva when physically sucking blood because saliva can prevent blood from clotting, which is beneficial to physical blood sucking. Pubic lice physically suck blood many times a day, so the itching is paroxysmal. Rashes often appear. Infection often occurs due to scratching, with symptoms such as pustules, exudate, and scarring.

2. Gray-green spots: After being infected with pubic lice, gray-green spots of 0.2 to 2 cm in size can be seen around the wound. They are painless and itchy, and do not fade when pressed. They can last for several months. These gray-green spots can also be seen on the chest, abdomen, inner thighs, etc. The cause of these gray-green spots is still unclear at this stage. It may be related to the saliva entering the blood after the pubic lice bite.

Warm reminder: The above is all the detailed introduction about what will happen after being bitten by pubic lice. Pubic lice bites do have a certain amount of venom. Severe ones can cause a series of skin diseases. When you find that you have pubic lice, you must take isolation measures from people around you and strictly refrain from having sexual intercourse. Finally, I wish you good health.

How to treat pubic lice?

1. Prevent local scratching: If you have pubic lice, some parts of the area will itch. When the itching is unbearable, do not scratch hard because your hands contain certain germs. Scratching hard will bring the germs into the area. If you scratch it accidentally, it will cause infection. When the itching level is tolerable, there is no need to scratch it intentionally. If it is really unbearable, you can wash your hands and gently rub the itchy area. Avoid scratching hard to avoid the onset of pubic lice.

2. Pay attention to diet: For patients suffering from pubic lice, they should pay attention to diet, which can effectively prevent the onset of symptoms. Spicy food and other irritating foods, smoking, and drinking can cause the onset of pubic lice and aggravate the condition. Patients should refrain from smoking and drinking, and eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein. Such as fresh vegetables, milk, fruits, eggs and so on.

3. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited: Patients with pubic lice must strictly prohibit sexual intercourse to prevent infection to others, leading to cross infection and worsening of the disease.

4. Good attitude: Pubic lice patients should maintain a calm mentality, do not have too heavy psychological burden, accept treatment with a positive and positive attitude, and at the same time increase their exercise and enhance their immune ability.

5. Get adequate rest: Patients with pubic lice should pay attention to rest and conserve their energy as much as possible. Do not overwork. Excessive fatigue can aggravate or cause sexually transmitted diseases, which is common in clinical medicine.

6. Good hygiene: Keep your own hygiene clean. It is best to wash your hands with soap before and after going to the toilet to avoid infection yourself or others. You should prepare a towel of your own, and keep the towels for wiping your body, feet or face separate. For example, gonorrhea can infect both eyes through the patient's own hands and cause gonococcal ophthalmia. Scratching the skin causes gonococcal dermatitis, which can be transmitted to children by nurses. Also pay attention to keeping the skin and genitals clean, bathe frequently, preferably in a shower or at home, and pay attention to keeping the genitals clean and dry to prevent self-infection.
