Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described point towards scabies infection which is caused by tiny mites burrowing under the skin and laying eggs. The reddish lines and blisters along with itching and discomfort are typical signs of scabies, while public lice (also known as pubic lice or "crabs") would be visible to the naked eye. Yeast infection, syphilis, and herpes may also cause symptoms in the genital area but would not present with the specific symptoms described by Garth.
