Could I Have Crabs? /:

Alright. Well I'm 13 years old. I do have some pubes, but I shave them near the lower hips to like my genitals. So I do have some. I live with my mom, her boyfriend, my sister and my little brother. I'm pretty sure that no one in my family has pubic lice and I have never had sex. I am experiencing some itching down there though. It's like really intense sometimes, but not always. I have like 2 red dots far away from each other in the pubic area but not around my vagina or genitals. Could this be from shaving? Because I did experience itching when I started shaving down there. But then, I saw like a few tiny brown things, but it could've been the shine from the light on my lower pubes. Or could it have been dry skin? Right after I discovered the "dry skin" that could be crabs, I got in the shower and completely shaved my pubic area and around my genitals, though I do have some pubes left around my genitals near my anus. Then I washed it with tea tree shampoo and soap, then I completely rinsed everything. After that, it got somewhat itchier and red. I'm not sure what this is.. Can someone help?

I was wondering , I have had some itching, too, and I found a possible egg, maybe. It could have been something else, and there has been a lot of itching down there. I don't shave it, so I know it isn't from shaving. I have never had sex, but I dress out in a very dirty locker room. I recently got head lice, so I no longer use my gym locker, I just put my clothes in NY bag. If it is pubic lice, could it also live on my scalp? Could the lice have moved from my pubic region to my head? It isn't on my head anymore, but I have not told anyone was out the itching down there. There are no red marks or signs of the lice down there besides what I think night have been a possible egg. I would love any help. How should I ask my parents? I am also 13.

Also,

I've had crabs- its VERY easy to treat. One shampoo which kills it off and its done. Less than a day.

Nothing to stress about. Just not very pleasant at the time!

if you've not been naked with another person, you don't have pubic lice.

stop shaving at this point and go to be seen.  

tea tree oil can be very irritating, especially on freshly shaved skin.
