Vinegar Get Rid Of Lice

Health Encyclopedia: Pubic Lice

Alternative Names

Pediculosis - pubic lice; Lice - pubic; Crabs


Treatment

Pubic lice are best treated with a prescription wash such as Elimite or Kwell:

  • Thoroughly work the shampoo into the pubic hair and surrounding area for at least 5 minutes.
  • Rinse well.
  • Comb the pubic hair with a fine-tooth comb to remove eggs (nits). Applying vinegar to pubic hair before combing may help loosen nits, but the hair should be dry when applying the shampoo.
