    These don't look like genital warts. More like ingrown hair.

    Thank you for your replies. I wasnt sure because the one on my thigh looks like a skin tag so it was really confusing. Do I need just need to go to a GP then to get them removed?

    I went to a sexual health clinic and she said they were "probably genital warts". She froze them but I think she also froze a mole I have down there. I decided to get a private test so I'll report back when I get those results.

    Itchy means they are not severely infected. Painful means they are not abrasive spots. They could go over time depending on how you shave.
