Treatment For Itching, Redness, White Flakes In Pubic Region?

I have small white flakes/dots (look like dead skin?), small lumps, and red patches of skin on my pubic region. The redness is from itching I think.... It itches very badly! I'm terrified that I have pubic lice but I have never seen any actual lice down there... PLEASE HELP
