Not exactly . There is a mite called scabies , very tiny, which burrows under the skin.

There is also a condition called pseudopediculosisfollicutlits, which means looks like like lice, but is really an inflammation of your body hair follicles. The treatments are different, so see your Doc for proper diagnosis and treatment.
