Pubic lice - Complications 

A pubic lice infestation can sometimes lead to minor complications, including skin and eye problems.

Skin problems

If you have pubic lice, your skin may become irritated from scratching.

Scratching can cause scratch marks on your skin, or it could lead to an infection such as impetigo (a contagious bacterial skin infection) or furunculosis (boils on the skin). 

Eye problems

Eye infections, such as conjunctivitis, and eye inflammation, such as blepharitis, can sometimes develop if your eyelashes have been infested with pubic lice.

See your doctor if your eyes become sore.
