Sounds like you have crabs. Be careful and make sure that you take care of it quickly because it can turn into body lice and it is very easy to spread sexually and non sexually. Go to the doctor and take the proper steps. I mean if I saw small insects on my private area I would be going to the doctor asap. There would not even be any questions.

Crabs, you can buy over the counter medicine for this. If you don't want to any medicine you can shave all the hair off. Some guys like the bald look. Also if you have a discharge you may have an STD.

Sounds like pediculosis to me my friend!
What is Pediculosis?
Pediculosis is an animal parasite which usually is found in the pubic hair of men and women. Also called crabs or pubic lice, it may also be found on the hair of the chest, underarm and face. Crabs do not live on scalp hair.
What are the Symptoms of Pediculosis?
The main symptom of pediculosis is itching. The itching is thought to be caused by an allergy to the bite of the louse. You may not always have itching. There may also be tiny dark brown spots on the skin or undergarments where they come in contact with the affected area.
How is Pediculosis Spread?
Crabs are most often spread during bodily contact with a person who has crabs. Occasionally, lice may be spread by towels, clothing, bed sheets or toilet seats. Adult lice can live up to ten days, while eggs (nits) live no longer than one month in clothing or bedding.
Prevention of Pediculosis.
If you suspect someone or something is infested with crabs, avoid contact. Use caution in sharing towels, clothing, bed sheets, sleeping bags, etc. Do not scratch the area because you may carry the lice to other parts of your body covered by hair.
How is Pediculosis Diagnosed?
Although they are small, adult lice can be seen by the naked eye. They attach to pubic hair, are gray-brown and move. The nits (eggs) attach to the base of pubic hair and are small, oval and gray. A magnifying glass may be used to see the nits or lice. Some may be removed with tweezers, placed on a glass slide and examined under the microscope in the doctor's office.
How is Pediculosis Treated?
You and your partner(s) should be treated at the same time. The treatment for crab lice is a shampoo or lotion (Kwell), available by prescription. There are effective over-the-counter treatments (RID) also available.
Kwell shampoo should be applied to wet hair of all affected areas (except eyelashes and eyebrows), worked into a lather and left on for four minutes before rinsing. A second treatment is seldom needed; but , if necessary, treatment can be repeated in 24 hours. The shampoo should only be applied twice in one week.
Kwell lotion is applied to the affected area, left on for 12 hours and treatment repeated one week later.
RID is massaged into dry affected hairy areas, left on for 10 minutes and washed off.
After any of these treatments, remaining nits may be removed by a fine tooth comb. If the eyelashes or eyebrows are affected, it is usually necessary to have the lice removed by a clinician using another method.
Clothing and linen should be washed and dried in a hot dryer. This should be done at the same time as treating yourself. Clothing unable to be washed and dried should be hung in a closet for four weeks before use. Furniture, if infested, should also be left alone for four weeks.
When do I Return to the Clinic?
A follow-up visit is not needed, but if the problem persists or comes back you should return for further treatment.

anytime there are "small insects" found crawling around your body get to a doctor ASAFP!!!!! sounds like crabs or lice. If you leave it untreated you could run into some serious problems. I'd be out the door and running to the doctor, like NOW!

Insects? Do you mean crabs? You can see them? Have you been outdoors, like in a swamp or something, where you maybe caught these bugs down there?
Have you had unprotected sex recently? It could be what we call crabs here. But I didn't know that those could actually be seen with the naked eye.

You probably got crabs.. No big deal. Shave all the pubic hair off your privates and take a hot bath... Use soap. afterwards dry thoroughly and then hit the area, wipe it down with an alcohol saturated cloth. May sting a bit, but crabs are gone...
