Regarding crab lice treatment, it’s important to thoroughly inspect any facial hair, including beards and Mustaches, as well as eyelashes, for the presence of live lice and eggs.

By following these precautions and procedures, effective treatment of crab lice in adults can be achieved while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
