Can you get pubic lice without having sex?!


Question: i mean i guess thats y they call it an std but i have NEVER had sex but i itch a lot down there, i dont know im just always sweaty. anyway, like i have this bump down there that slightly itches but idk if it is PL i looked at pics on google and whatever irritation i have, didn't look like pubic lice, in fact it might just be from scratching. So just answer the question in the title. i dont need PL.

pubic lice work in much the same way as head lice... they can be passed on thru contact of any kind with something that has live ones on it (eg. if you wore someones underwear and they had crabs... but this is unlikely... or bed sheets). they are only called an std as they infect only the pubic regions (you can also get them under your arms). The main difference other than this to head lice is body shape (headlice are flat but like a oval, crabs are flat and round shaped)

If you have a lump, it could just be a pimple/blackhead or even a bite from a vector such as a mosquito.

but if your really worried...consult your doctor

good luck

You can get lice from anything, towels, clothing, anything! But it could be something different you should go to the gyno!!

Watch those toilet seats at premiscous friends houses.

yep. i had a friend that got crabs from a porta potty. the kinda dark moist environment helps them live longer between hosts. but i think you'd b able to see them if you look real close

MM...yes definately. if u think u do. save everything & go buy some creams/ointments from the pharmacy

well if you looked it up and it dont match up then rethink things, cause it could be form soaps or even if you shave.

but yes lice or'crabs' can live on anything and travel, so be careful

go to the doctor...
and then see what they say.

It could be something you allergic too or ingrown hairs
or dryness.
