Their wanderings are more pronounced at night. As you age you eventually develop your own personal load of these little guys.

A skin/hair bug that looks like a lobster is commonly known as a pubic louse or "crab" louse. It is a parasitic insect that feeds on human blood and is typically found in the pubic hair region.
If you have a skin/hair bug that looks like a lobster, you may experience intense itching in the affected area. You may also notice small red bumps or bite marks on the skin. These bugs are visible to the naked eye, so you may also be able to see them crawling on the skin or in the hair.
A skin/hair bug that looks like a lobster is primarily transmitted through close physical contact with an infected person. This can include sexual contact or sharing personal items such as clothing, towels, or bedding.
While a skin/hair bug that looks like a lobster is considered a nuisance and can cause intense itching and discomfort, it is not known to transmit any diseases. However, excessive scratching can lead to skin infections, so it is important to seek treatment if you suspect you have been exposed to these bugs.
A skin/hair bug that looks like a lobster can be treated with over-the-counter or prescription medicated shampoos, lotions, or creams.
