Pubic scabies is the disease of skin and hair around the genitalia. It is caused by small parasites called pubic lice crabs and usually affects the pubic hair. These tiny parasites feed on your blood and can spread easily during sexual contact. This pubic hair infection usually causes no serious health problems, but intense itching can be uncomfortable. Besides sexual contact, you can get this infection from close contact with other parts of the body having coarse hair such as beard, mustaches, eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, and chest hair.
