Hallow Dear,
Seems that you are having some mites or scabies, please follow the instructions:
1. Clip the hair flush to the skin.
2. Clip the nails short.
3. Use panty liners.
4. Boil underwear daily.
5. Apply Permethrin locally which will take care of scabies or mites.
6. If you find dark discolouration, it could be ring worm which can be managed by Whitfield ointment.
It is a good option to take a skin & VD specialist's opinion.
Hope this helps you.
