Hi, i'm a 21 year old female, so last year in december I got some crab lice, around the 25 th, I last had sex on the 5th of december, anyway I shaved and they went away. However again in february I got them I shaved again and then nothing, also note I had not had sex since december the 5th. Again recently in july I got them again and I shaved, and now there are back again. I've heard that they are passed on through sexual intercourse but how ever I have not been having sex, then how am I getting them.

I am sorry to hear about your concern, but will be happy to assist you. Pubic lice are tiny insects found on coarse human body hair, such as the hair around your genitals. They are passed on through close bodily contact with someone who has pubic lice and are usually sexually transmitted ? which is when they move from one person to another during sex. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
