bro, i kena it about 7-8yrs ago. No medication needed. what i did was this --- Soap the area thoroughly, make up lots of lather foam and then shave the private area real clean. The foamy trick is to ensure than no lice can still cling itself to the skin when u shave. Then just wash the area thoroughly and then final check for any remaining lice clinging to skin. Chances that if u do proper soaping and thorough shaving, the lice would have been removed.

I did this procedure and it was an immediate riddance of the problem.

Alternatively, if you don't want to shave off your pubic hair, you can try getting those pubic lice removal shampoo from the pharmacy. I also had it about 8 years ago. Bought those shampoo and wash pubic area, the shampoo actually kill the lice and the eggs they laid which will multiply very fast if it is not get rid off. After 3 or 4 wash, fully recovered. :)

bro the shampoo got any specific brand? i shave off pubic hair alr but seems like sometime still itchy leh ..

Re: pubic lice self treatment
 

The pharmacy should be able to recommend the brand.

But if you already shaved off your pubic hair, what's there to shampoo?:confused:

Anyway, your itchiness now could be due to the shaving.

Sorry, too long ago already, can't really remember the brand :p

I believe so too. :p

It's called Malathion and smells like pesticides used for plants.
The shampoo brand is called "A-Lice" and there is a lotion form where you apply and leave it there for a few hours.

Just go to a pharmacy (Guardian etc) and ask the staff for Malathion (no need doc's prescription).
