Herpes? Infected hair follicles? Yeast infection? Pls help.

Posted , 2 users are following.

i had un protected sex and also received oral about a month or 2 ago.. 2 weeks later i shaved and these bumps started to come out. honestly i was using the same razor for about 2 years maybe it was messing with my body with germs its had on it. anyway i started popping them and at times rarely they pop like a pimple then bleed right after. sometimes i need to apply a lot of pressure to even get it to pop. i also shave my belly hairs and i seem to be getting the same bumps there aswell. they dont hurt but its very very little itching. some have gone away but more come, after shaving seems like more come also with a lot of ingrown hairs. these bumps have been going on for about 2 weeks and also just recently a red bump on penis head appeard. ive done some research i came to conclusion it might be herpes. if anyone can help identify my problem and help with a solution please help. pictures included.

    Does not look like herpes. Do you have flu like symptoms? Looks like molluscum contagiosum to me.

    I suggest changing your razor blade every 5 - 7 shaves or stop shaving altogether. Oh, and don't pop em because that may be causing them to spread.

    It's always best to check in with your doctor to get a proper diagnosis though.

      i do feel heat waves and hot at times and headaches but i work outside 10hrs+ maybe thats what that is. i have gotten a new razor aswell i will switch them out more often, i just searched molluscum contagiosum and it does actually look like that. i defenitly wont be shaving anytime soon and im going to be applying antibiotic cream if does not get better i will go see my doctor thank you!

      Molluscum is a virus and the antibiotics may not work. Try cleaning the area with hydrogen peroxide and apply povidone iodine on the bumps with a qtip or cotton balls.

      Yeah, these are definitely molluscum. My bf had the same exact thing a couple weeks ago. He used hydrogen peroxide to clean himself and applied povidone iodine twice a day until it cleared up. You should be able to find these over the counter!
