Will there still be pubic lice after shaving your hair clean

After shaving, it is still possible to be infected with pubic lice, but the probability will be significantly reduced. Pubic lice are mainly transmitted through direct contact, and hair is not the only parasitic site. Egg or adult worms may still hide in the folds of the skin. The survival of pubic lice depends on the roots of human hair, and shaving can remove most of the adult insects and eggs, reducing parasitic conditions. But the eggs of pubic lice may adhere to the roots of hair follicles or skin crevices, and simply shaving cannot completely remove them. If not killed with medication, residual insect eggs may hatch and lead to recurrence. Pubic lice can be indirectly transmitted through contact with bed sheets, towels, etc. After shaving, they can still be infected if they come into contact with a source of contamination. In rare cases, pubic lice may parasitize other body hair areas such as eyebrows and armpit hair, and simply shaving the perineal hair cannot completely block transmission. individuals with low immune function or repeated exposure to infectious sources may experience persistent infections even after shaving their hair. Pubic lice can still survive for a long time after leaving the human body, and there is a risk of reinfection when the environment is not thoroughly disinfected.

It is recommended to use topical medications such as Baibu Tinch and benzyl benzoate detergent after shaving to kill residual insect eggs, and to use high-temperature laundry and bedding to cut off transmission routes. Keep the perineum clean and dry in daily life, and avoid sharing personal items with others. If there is persistent itching or skin erythema, seek medical attention to rule out the possibility of other parasitic infections.
