I hope you had it checked out. It could just be an irritation - from friction, heat, or other. It sounds like it could be an STD, so just be sure to see a Dr. as soon as possible, and avoid sexual contact until you have been treated, since more activity can cause discomfort, further irritation, and/or spreading of a possible contagion.
The treatment for genital bumps depends on the cause. Stop shaving, reduce the number of chemicals used in the area, and see your health care provider for advice.
could be genital warts caused by HPV
Herpes, genital warts, and molluscum contagiosum are the STDs that can cause bumps on your genitals. Trichomoniasis can sometimes cause a rash in the genital area as well.
Nope, you got herpes.
There is a chance it could be genital warts caused by an HPV infection.
It could possibly be herpes. Those usually itch, and if irritated, bleed. You should definitely have this checked by your doctor.
Healthy people may not need treatment for molluscum contagiosum, because the bumps usually go away on their own in 2 to 4 months. Some people choose to remove the bumps because they don't like how the bumps look or they don't want to spread the virus to other people. Doctors usually recommend treatment for bumps in the genital area to prevent them from spreading. If you need treatment, your choices may include: Freezing the bumps, called cryotherapy or cryosurgery. Scraping off the bumps, called curettage. Putting a chemical on the bumps, like cantharidin or potassium hydrochloride. Using liquids or creams, such as those used to treat warts.
Looking at the hair around the genital area.
