A lice-killing shampoo like Nit Free Mousse is recommended to
treat pubic lice.
How to treat pubic lice infestations: (Note: see section
below for treatment of eyelashes or eyebrows. The lice medications
described in this section should not be used near the eyes.)
1. Wash the infested area; towel dry.
2. Thoroughly saturate hair with lice medication.
3. Following treatment, most nits will still be attached to hair
shafts. Nits may be removed with fingernails or a nit comb.
4. Put on clean underwear and clothing after treatment.
5. To kill any lice or nits (attached to hairs) that may be left
on clothing or bedding, machine-wash those washable items that
the infested person used during the 2-3 days before treatment.
Use the hot water cycle (130°F) and add Kleen Free to the
water. Use the hot dryer cycle for at least 20 minutes.
6. Dry-clean clothing that is not washable.
7. Inform any sexual partners that they are at risk for infestation.
8. Do not have sex until treatment is complete.
9. Do not have sex with infected partners until partners have
been treated and infestation has been cured.
10. Repeat treatment as needed.
