Red bumps along pubic area/ small spots on shaft??

I just noticed these bumps grow in the past week?? I'm really concerned about them. I usually wear a condom when I have sex but I've definitely not worn one in the past 6 months (every partner I've had sex with have told me they were clean befored hand) Can anyone tell me what this is? Doesn't burn when I p*ss, they don't hurt or anything they're mostly just there; sometimes they itch but not much (rarely if anything).

Probably will visit my doctor ASAP but would like to know now.

    I think that's probably just folliculitis, maybe brought on by shaving.  I'd get checked out though.

    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.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor.

    You can't rely on partners telling you they're clean btw.  Some people say they're clean when they know they're not, or aren't sure.  Even if they're confident they're clean, that doesn't mean they don't have something they don't know about (some STIs have no symptoms in some people and can lie dormant for years).  If you've had unsafe sex with multiple partners, then it's worth getting checked for STIs anyway.

      Its not herpes guys. I mean its kinda part of the same family but its not herpes and yall wont have them for long either! What yall have is Mollouscum Contagiosum. Nothing really to be scared about cause they can gonaway by them selves but that would take forever!! sonheres this link https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/molluscum-contagiosum/symptoms-causes/syc-20375226 this s**t will help.For yall still depending on your parents let them know so they can help you. You can still get Molluscum comtagiosum even having proctected sex so its still not your fault.
