Pubic lice are parasitic insects that feed on human hair, measuring about 1 to 3 millimeters in length and wingless. They are commonly found in the genital area, hence the name "pubic lice." The causative agent of pubic lice is Pthirus pubis. Additionally, due to their flattened bodies, they resemble dandruff from a distance but look like small crabs upon closer inspection, which is why they are also called "crab lice" in English. Based on your description, it is possible that you may have pubic lice, eczema, or allergies.
