Crab lice are primarily found in which area of the human body?

Crab lice, also known scientifically as Pthirus pubis, are primarily found in the pubic area of the human body. They are a type of parasitic insect that specifically targets coarse body hair, and the pubic region provides the optimal environment for these lice due to the thickness and density of hair in that area.

While crab lice can occasionally be found in other hairy areas of the body, such as the armpits or facial hair, their most common and characteristic location remains the pubic area. This specificity helps distinguish them from other types of lice, such as head lice, which are commonly found on the scalp.
