Lice are small insects that live on the skin. They are often connected to hair on the scalp or in the pubic area. When you have lice, it is called pediculosis.
Scabies is a condition caused by mites, which are tiny, insect-like animals that dig under the skin.

Pediculus Humanus
Blood-sucking lice that cause intense pruritus with associated excoriations, commonly on scalp and neck (head lice), waistband and axilla (body lice), or pubic and perianal regions (pubic lice).
Best give away in this question, for me, is the "white, globular protuberances". Looks just like the pic in First Aid 2019 (see below).
