Pubic Lice

Pubic lice are tiny insects that live on the skin and are often called "crabs". They live in hairy parts of the body, such as the pubic area or under the arms.

Signs and symptoms
The most common symptom is itching where the lice are living and it may be possible to see droppings that look like black powder in your underwear, as well as eggs on pubic or other hair. It is sometimes possible to see lice on the skin.

How do you get them?
Pubic lice are usually sexually transmitted but can occasionally be transferred by close physical contact or by sharing sheets or towels.

Testing and treatment
You can usually see pubic lice just by looking. You can get rid of them by using a special shampoo or lotion.
