They survive by biting you and drinking your blood. They will NOT enter your bloodstream. They do NOT lay eggs under your skin. Shaving is not a bad idea, but sometimes shaving is not sufficient because some of the eggs may have gotten into your bedding (wash in HOT water and use bleach), or some may be living on the hair on your thighs, around your butt, etc. You might still need to use a topical insecticide.Dr. Karl.AnswerShaving will not completely get rid of them. You may still need to see a doctor as pubic lies can penetrate your skin and start laying eggs, which might eventually end up in your blood stream.Adult pubic lice are 1.1-1.8 mm in length. Pubic lice typically are found attached to hair in the pubic area but sometimes are found on coarse hair elsewhere on the body (for example, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, mustache, chest, armpits, etc.). Pubic lice infestations (pthiriasis) are usually spread through sexual contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a role in the transmission of human lice.Both over-the-counter and prescription medications are available for treatment of pubic lice infestations.You can get rid of crabs(lice) by getting some Permethrin cream, apply the cream to the affected area & wash it off after 10 minutes. The cream is available over the counter, please do not use for treatment on your eyelashes or eyebrows.

What parasite usually live in the armpits and pubic area?
Lice.There are 3 separate species of lice that populate humans:head licepubic liceclothing liceAll other animals populated with lice have only 1 species.Head lice appear to be the original species that populated our pre-human ancestors before they lost most of their fur. Pubic lice are genetically most closely related to the lice that now populate gorillas, indicating that at some point after our ancestors lost most of their fur they were in close contact with gorillas and picked up the second species of lice because it was already better adapted to the coarser hair there than our own species of lice were. Clothing lice are genetically most closely related to human head lice, but became a separate species roughly 80,000 to 170,000 years ago which must be when our ancestors had began experimenting with wearing clothes, which is before modern humans began leaving Africa (roughly 60,000 to 125,000 years ago).Features of the louse mitochondrial genome also tell us how species such as Homo erectus, Neanderthal, and modern humans interacted over time.
Pubic lice?
DefinitionPubic lice are small, six-legged creatures that infect the pubic hair area and lay eggs. These lice can also be found in armpit hair and eyebrows.Alternative NamesPediculosis - pubic lice; Lice - pubic; CrabsCauses, incidence, and risk factorsPubic lice are known as Phthirus pubis. Lice infestation is found mostly in adolescents.Transmission generally occurs during sexual activity. However, it also can occur through physical contact with contaminated objects such as toilet seats, sheets, and blankets. Some women have gotten pubic lice while trying on bathing suits at a store.Other types of lice include:Body lice(Pediculus humanus corporis)Head lice(Pediculus humanus capitis)Risk factors include:Being sexually activeHaving multiple sexual partnersHaving sexual contact with an infected personSharing bedding or clothing with an infected personSymptomsEggs (nits) or actual adult lice may be seenItching in area covered by pubic hair (often gets worse at night)Skin reaction that is bluish-gray in colorSores (lesions) in the genital area due to bites and scratchingSigns and testsAn examination of the outer genital area typically reveals small gray-white oval eggs (nits) attached to the hair shaft. It may also reveal adult lice. The health care provider might also see scratch marks or signs of an infection such as impetigo.Because pubic lice may cause an eye infection (blepharitis) in young children, their eyelashes should be examined with a high-powered magnifying glass for evidence of lice.Adult lice may be easily identified under the microscope. Their crab-like appearance is the reason that pubic lice are referred to as "the crabs."TreatmentPubic 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-toothed 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.A single treatment is all that is usually needed. If another treatment is recommended, it should be done 4 days to 1 week later.Over-the-counter medications for the treatment of lice include Rid and Nix. Malathione lotion is another treatment option.While you are treating pubic lice, wash all clothing and linens in hot water. Items that cannot be washed may be sprayed with a medicated spray or sealed (suffocated) in plastic bags and not used for 10 - 14 days. It is important for all intimate contacts to be treated at the same time.People with pubic lice should be evaluated for other sexually-transmitted diseases at the time of diagnosis.Expectations (prognosis)The proper treatment, including thorough cleaning, should get rid of the lice.ComplicationsThe constant scratching and digging can cause the skin to become raw, and secondary infections may develop.Calling your health care providerCall for an appointment with your health care provider if:You or your sexual partner has symptoms of pubic liceYou try over-the-counter lice treatments and they are not effectiveYour symptoms continue after treatmentPreventionAvoid sexual or intimate contact with infected people. If you are sexually active, use safe sex practices to avoid getting lice.Good personal hygiene is always recommended. If possible, avoid trying on bathing suits while you are shopping. However, if you must try them on, be sure to wear your underwear. This may prevent transmission.ReferencesJacobson CC, Abel AA. Parasitic infestations. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007;56:1026-1043.
How long can lice live in you sinus cavity?
Lice typically do not live in the sinus cavity; they primarily inhabit the scalp, hair, and sometimes other areas of the body, such as the body and pubic region, depending on the type of lice. Adult head lice can survive for about 30 days on a person's scalp, while eggs (nits) can remain viable for up to 10 days before hatching. If lice do come into contact with the sinus cavity, they would likely not survive long outside their typical habitat.

What is the life cycle of a lice?
The life cycle for Head lice is fairly simple -Egg -> Nymph -> AdultNits, or lice eggs, hatch in about a week. Baby lice or nymphs are about the size of a pinhead when they hatch, and quickly mature into adult lice in about a week. Adult lice can then live for about 30 days, with females laying up to 8 nits a day, repeating the cycle.Reproduced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
