Brief Answer:
Suggestive of moles until proved otherwise.

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic.

After having gone through the history given I am of the opinion that you seem to have developed moles. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells.

Most moles are harmless.

Crabs (Pubic Lice) is characterized by itching which is worse at night and burning of the pubic area. The itching may spread as the pubic lice move to other moist areas of the body such as the groin or armpit.

When the itching is intense for long periods, the skin can be broken which can lead to a secondary bacterial infection.

Kindly upload the pictures of the affected part if possible to help you further.

Hope to have answered your query.
However, if you have any follow up query, please do reply.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
