Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am facing problem of pubic lice. Please provide effective cream and lotion for it. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. We are here to help you. Best treatment for pubic lice (crab louse) is to apply Permethrin lotion (Nix) to be applied over the affected area for overnight and to wash it the next morning. Continue the same for seven days.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. It is available at any good medical store in the name of Perlice. You can get it very easily.
