Specializes in Family Medicine

Need to be seen: It is very difficult to determine what these small black pieces are without actually seeing them. If you see small black things in your pubic area that don't wash off, it is possible that you are seeing pubic lice, especially if it looks like this picture. You should be evaluated and treated as soon as possible.
