HELP!! PLEASE!!
Posted , 2 users are following.
I was using the bathroom tonight and I noticed all of these spots in my genital area. They don’t really itch and aren’t painful. I didn’t even notice them until I looked in the mirror. It looks like it’s skin peeling off, but I don’t know what it could be. I do engage in unprotected sex with my girlfriend, but we’ve both been tested a bunch of times. What could this be? Should I be worried? Thanks so much.

Those pictures aren't in focus, but I don't think you have an STI. It could just be some regular skin condition that goes away in a few days. If you could post pics in sharper focus, we could say whether or not we think you should see a doctor.

That still doesn't look like any STI, and that would be unlikely if you've both been tested recently.
I suspect it's nothing to worry about, but if it doesn't go away, or gets worse, then I'd get checked out. You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

Sorry to bother you again, but I think this picture is better. I have been itching now somewhat, but no painful urination of any sort. My skin has been dry and itchy, and I don't know if that is the cause of everything. Thanks again.

Those do look more like folliculitis (ingrown hairs).
