    Do keep up with whatever routine screening applies to you, though. Not because of the warts, just because screening is what actually catches the thing people worry about, and worry is a poor substitute for an appointment.

    What helped me was remembering the message isn’t about the relationship, it’s about someone getting a test they wouldn’t otherwise get. You are doing them a favour, even if it doesn’t land that way in the moment.

    Itching can carry on for a while after successful treatment because it’s a reaction in the skin, not proof that anything is still alive. That’s the bit that isn’t explained often enough.

    What actually settles it is looking for live lice or eggs attached to the hair in good light, rather than going by the itch. If you find nothing moving, the treatment has probably worked.
