image image hey, I'm 18 years old and I've had a few partners. i noticed these bumps the other day after shaving but I'm not sure if it was there before and has never happened to me before. they aren't sore or itchy and the red ones are mostly ones that I tried to pop and are a little irritated. i have an appointment but it's not until the end of the next month, please help

    its kind of hard to tell they could be warts, but kg they open and turn into sores id say more than likely a herpes outbreak. I see you shave as well it could very well be an infection from that. do you have any other symptoms? im glad you made an appointment. try not to stress untill then! keep.us updated

      i don't have any other symptoms and they feel fairly smooth. it doesn't seem to be spreading but it's also hard to tell

      try not to touch them! how long ago did you shave? Try a warm epsom salt bath, and dont freak out even if it is warts or herpes its NOT the end of the world. keep us updated.

    they dont look like anything serious and most likely something thats naturally occured like normal spots or oil gland they are not warts and its not herpes or molluscum
