Tests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffYou or your doctor can usually confirm a pubic lice infestation through a visual examination of your pubic area. Using a magnifying glass may help. The presence of moving lice confirms infestation.
Lice eggs (nits) also may indicate an infestation. However, nits can cling to hairs and be present, although no longer alive, even after successful treatment.
