Question
Some of my pubic hair around my genitals have white/yellowish stuff around the tips of the hair. What is this?
Answer
You could have lice, although this isn't the usual presentation. Also, a type of dandruff can give you similar findings. Your doctor can look at it under the microscope and let you know how to treat it. Good luck!
