Affected people should be checked for other sexually transmitted diseases. Pubic lice or crabs are often found in the genital area but can spread to the lower abdomen, armpits, eyelashes, and even scalp.

After we left , well we couldn't stop scratching .

So we both got a haircut . Ahhh , young love .
