What to do if i have crabs and i was wondering instead of shaving if i can just wax it all off. would the crabs come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy fix: You don't even need to shave. There's topical medicine you can leave on overnight. A little vinegar before you comb your hair may help remove the eggs. Treat your partner as well or you'll soon have a new crop of little friends.
