What Causes Itchy Red Bumps In The Groin Area?

I saw a white flake in my pubic area and there are a bunch of bumps around the base of my penis and all round my ball sack. My my ball sack is reddish pink skin. Every now and then i would need to itch and itch the area near my buttcrack. They were really white flakes, and I saw them near the tip of a few of my pubic hairs.
Im just wondering could it be crabs, or lice, or scabies.

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think it is scabies. You may try Permethrin cream, lindane cream or benzyl benzoate solution. In addition to this treatment, you also need to some antihistamine for itches and sterilize your dresses and bedding.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
