STIs   Pubic lice ('crabs')

These creatures are passed on by genital contact and live in the pubic hair around the sex organs of both men and women where they lay tiny white eggs. Adult lice may be seen crawling in pubic hair. The main symptom is itch. Treatment is with a special lotion (Derbac-M or Prioderm) which is available from any chemist.
