Crab Louse???
Ok so about two weeks ago I had a penicillin shot for Syphilis. I've been noticing what looks like small scabs around the groin area on the inner thighs area. It doesn't itch all the time, sometimes it does, and sometimes it itches bad. the scabs can be picked off, but they just keep coming up. Is this Crabs? I don't know if it's related but every day when I take off my underwear to shower, it looks like the scabs rubbed and left small blood flakes or what looks like blood flakes could be scab flakes on the inside of the underwear in the front around the testicle area and inner thigh area.

Oh and make sure to wash all your bedding in hot water, all your clothing, etc.

Good luck, but remember just because you have one appt set, it doesn't mean you can't call and get in earlier if you have symptoms.

Autniejessi, you always have good advice. Unfortunately no, my next appt with the Dr is in august, but last night I did pull off one of the "scabs" and looked really close. It is crabs, I could see the legs moving. It was so nasty. Well, I'm off to the pharmacy to get rid of these buggers! lol Thanks Auntiejessi!!!

Hi there -
It might be, but unless you actually see little nits or bugs, its not.
