Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query.Pubic lice can be treated with prescription wash containing permethrin like Kwell or Elimite.Thoroughly work with it in pubic hair at least for 5 minutes.1 treatment is enough for most people.if second one needed then should be done 4 days to 1 week later.Wash all her clothes and beddings in hot water.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
