I've been getting bites all over me, especially in the inner thigh/groin area and arm pits. The itch is really killing my sleep, please help me identify this bug, thanks!

Picture 1 & 2: Me trying my best to photograph the tiny bug.

Picture 3: I'm trying to show the size of the bug

Here's a video of the bug, the app I used to record this video does not have a save/share function, I had to use another phone to record the video.

They appear to be body lice -

A doctor can prescribe a treatment to get rid of them.
