DERMOSCOPIC APPEARANCE Dermoscopic examination found 3 stages of Pthirus pubis, namely nits or eggs, nymph, and adult stages. The brown or white eggs or nits containing nymphs were firmly attached at the base of a hair. Nymphs are essentially a smaller version of adults, making them very difficult to find. Adults were seen grasping hairs with claws or sucking the blood by inserting mouth parts into the skin (Fig 2). Detailed dermoscopy found live and moving lice.
