Over-the-counter lotions that contain the chemical permethrin such as Rid and Nix will get rid of the lice. After washing with the lotion, use a fine-toothed comb to comb out the crabs and their eggs (called nits). Your sexual partner(s) must be treated as well, and all clothing or bedding that may be infested must be washed in very hot water or dry-cleaned. In some cases, clothing, towels, or bedding may need to be washed a few times before they're completely lice-free. If you don't seek treatment you're likely to pass pubic lice on to any sexual partners, or anyone else you're in close contact with.

This is an annoying but harmless condition. Crabs usually stay in the genital areas because they need warm and moist. They can spread to your chest. They will be wherever hair is. You need to do several things to get rid of them.
1, Get A-200 (Over the counter) or Kwell (prescription)
2. Wash EVERYTHING you have worn (sheet bedding also) in HOT water and put in dryer.
3. Anyone that you have had sexual contact with must do the same.
4. Reapply the medicine in about a week because some eggs may have hatched. (these are called 'nits')
As I said, it is very annoying but harmless. You itch like hell.

Nix (1% permethrin) cream rinse or RID (pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide) lice-killing shampoo
Apply the lice-killing shampoo to the pubic hair. Make sure all the hair is wet with the product.
Leave the medicine on for the number of minutes required on the package instructions.
Rinse thoroughly and rub with a dry towel.
Comb the pubic hair thoroughly with a fine-tooth comb to remove any remaining nits.
A second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched .. Dry clean or wash contaminated clothing, towels, and bed linens (sheets, pillowcases, blankets) in a washing machine with very hot water. Contaminated clothing that cannot be washed should be sealed in a plastic bag for 2 weeks to ensure death of nits.you dont need to go to the doctor . you can buy the shampoo over the counter.
