They are sometimes spread sexually, but you can also pick them up by using the same bed linen, clothes, or towels as an infected person. Scabies, an itchy rash, is the result of a female mite burrowing into a person's skin to lay her eggs.
Pubic lice infect hairy parts of the body, especially around the groin and under the arms.
Their eggs can be seen on the hair close to the skin, where they hatch in 5 to 10 days. Although some people infected with pubic lice have no symptoms, you may experience considerable itching around the genitals. You may see light-brown insects the size of a pinhead moving on the skin or oval eggs attached to your body hair. The main symptom of scabies is itching, especially at night. A rash may appear in the folds of skin between the fingers or on the wrists, elbows, abdomen, or genitals.
