Could this be herpes, molluscum contagiosum, folliculitis or something else?

It is now more than 3 weeks since these "bumps" appeared around / in between my pubic hair / groin region. I last had sex (oral and intercourse) about 4 weeks ago. These bumps (about 4 or so, as much as I can tell) do not pain or such. I have tried and used anti-fungal powder, anti-microbial cream and am presently using a providine iodine based cream. Just wondering but could this be Herpes, Molluscum contagiosum, Folliculitis or perhaps something else?!

    herpes bumps would be clustered together. Are these the only two you have? Any unprotected sex? Just to be safe do not pop them, would recommend calling your doctors office, get a specialist, Dermatologist

      Thanks for the reply.

      I have about 4 bumps that I am, as of yet, aware of.

      Yes, it was unprotected sex.

      These bumps do not seem to have any liquid coming out of them.

      Thanks, I won't pop them and they have no liquid coming out right now, well as much as I can tell. I do not see any hairs in these bumps, and they are kind of transparent so I thought that maybe, perhaps they are not folliculitis.

    This looks like genital warts

      Thanks Somiah, do you really think so?

      These bumps are, well, as much as I could find and locate right now, just in that pubic hair / groin region and not anywhere else.
