You are infected in the genital area with a parasite. If you have them you need to get the proper ointment to get rid of them.
You can pass them on to your sex partner. Condoms do not prevent them as they are external.

Crabs (pubis lice) are tiny insects that live off human blood. Although they're often found around the genitals, they can live in any part of the body with hair.
Over-the-counter lotions that contain the chemical permethrin such as Rid and Nix will get rid of the lice. After washing with the lotion, use a fine-toothed comb to comb out the crabs and their eggs (called nits). Your sexual partner(s) must be treated as well, and all clothing or bedding that may be infested must be washed in very hot water or dry-cleaned. In some cases, clothing, towels, or bedding may need to be washed a few times before they're completely lice-free.

This is an annoying but harmless condition. Crabs usually stay in the genital areas because they need warm and moist. They can spread to your chest. They will be wherever hair is. You need to do several things to get rid of them.
1, Get A-200 (Over the counter) or Kwell (prescription)
2. Wash EVERYTHING you have worn (sheet bedding also) in HOT water and put in dryer.
3. Anyone that you have had sexual contact with must do the same.
4. Reapply the medicine in about a week because some eggs may have hatched. (these are called 'nits')
As I said, it is very annoying but harmless. You itch like hell.

Crabs are parasites. Often referred to as pubic lice, they are not to be confused with body lice. The scientific name for crabs is Phthirus pubis. Crabs need blood to survive, but they can live up to 24 hours away from a human body. Crabs have three very distinct phases: egg, nit (egg or young louse) and adult louse. The adult louse causes itching. Louse is the singular for lice..

It means you have a sexually transmitted disease. Go to a doctor.
