I can't see a doctor's until the end of May and i've googled so much but can't figure out what these are.

Appearance:

• They are soft, painless, small (much smaller than pictured), skin colour, and some look like pimples but bled when popped

Possible causes:

• I have been sexually active with my BF (no protection) and the bumps appeared about a month after I last seen him.

• Appeared maybe a few days after shaving but I do shave that area every few weeks and never had any reaction

Other Info:

• Tend to get a tiny bit inflammed/noticible some days more than other

• No symptoms at all and remain in the same area near the perineum ( around the skin between vag/anus).

• They don't blister or look like lesions and they're very tiny but it's still very emberassing

      No symptoms or itching. I hadn't seen him in a month, they haven't changed much that I've noticed but some days they're a little more inflammed. They're just small skin colored bumps, no indents or blistering and only 2 have white in them that looks like puss but they won't pop.

    It could be a from shaving. But is also Looks like it could be molluscum contagiosum, a very common viral skin condition, you can get it anywhere on your body through close contact, but some people also pick it up at the gym, swimming pool or through bedding/towels. Its completely harmless, so please dont worry! It can spread if you squeeze the bumps or shave close to your skin, so i would hold off until you see your doctor to get more advice and a real diagnosis.

    looks like molluscum contagisuim (however you spell it) I had it a few years ago and it looked the same as your bumps. very common and NOT an std.

      Thank you! I managed to get an appointment for next week, this makes it a lot less nerve wrecking even. I've been spending so many hours trying to diagnose it!

      I had cyrotherapy to get rid of them, it is painful but worth it. I went to a dermatologist after I went to see OB just to make sure it was molluscum and it was. Glad to hear you are getting them checked out.. also, if you have been touching them, wash your hands after. they are contagious
