The second type of pediculosis is the pubic lice infestation. Lice lodge on the short hairs of the body, such as pubic hair in the groin area, axillary hair, beard, scalp margins, eyebrows, and eyelashes, and areolar hair.

Body lice lodge and lay eggs on clothes and transfer to the human host when they have to feed. They are blood-sucking parasites that are equipped with needle-like mouths. During war or natural calamities lice can be carriers of fatal illnesses like typhoid fever.

The lice can be easily transferred by direct contact. There are three types of Infestations, the kind of which can be established by the type of insect that is causing the infestation. The insect named Phthirius pubis brings about pubic hair infestation. One can get it through sexual contact and is easily transmittable. Generally just one single exposure can already get a person infected.

The insects and its eggs can live on items such as towels, clothes or sheets, which make transfer to other persons easy. Still, a child found with this infection could also be a victim of sexual abuse. Lice are very resilient and easily transferable such that wearing hats of infected individuals can also transmit it.

Skin with pus reactions, can appear within two days, or it can wait, depending on the sensitivity of the individual, as well as the infection history.

Reaction can become unbearable if the individual is allergic to the bites and the saliva of the insects.

In pediculosis of the hair, the lice are lodged on the hairs of the head and the nits (eggs) are white, round or oval shaped. They are tightly attached to the shaft of the hair and will not be removed by themselves. Inside the insect, the eggs are brownish, but when are laid, they turn light brown to white.

The bites of the pubic lice, also known as crabs, cause little rashes, actually small lesions, which are flat and their color is blue-gray. The signs can last up to several months even after the infection has been eradicated. The individuals who have pubic lice are likely to have some other sexual transmittable disease, since this is one of the signs for it.
