Really struggling with this.

2d Crabs: Satan, born diabolical, infused with zillions initially (3,7)

N???/??Z?N?

It must be an anagram, but just can't get it

and

12a Pubes cut down (4,8)

???H/?E???E?S

12 I've seen Hair Removers suggested.

Ys, 2 D does look like an anagram, a Viz phrase that won't be found in standard dictionaries!

Think it’s likely NOB TARZANS and TAIL FEATHERS slang for crabs and pubes respectively

I'm uncomfortable even typing this in, but 12a, given the H crosser and "cut" in clue, seems like GASH FEATHERS.

Which reminds me, there used to be a weird website entitled (iirc) something like "Gash or Tache"...can't bring myself to check whether it still exists. 🤢
