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.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Is Permethrin lotion available easily in market? Or do I need to get it through prescription?
