Small cluster bumps on scrotum, groin for a month, ive researched and cant seam to find answers

Posted , 4 users are following.

these came along after i shaved, they don't look like razor bumps or infected hairs what could it be? i haven't had sex in 6 months and it was with my partner and she's totally clean. we both get tested regularly so i don't think its a STD. I've researched info and pictures over and over but cant find any answers

    it's a delicate area to shave, but just like the little skin tags people get on their neck, or armpits, it's probably a viral thing. but if you're not shy with your GP, just let them look.

    Dear jg,

    These are genital warts, unfortunately. Some of them may have spread from shaving, so I suggest you stop shaving until you get them sorted out. A number of home-based treatments (imiquimod, podophyllotoxin) are available for warts, but you'll need to see your doctor for these.

    I also suggest you ask your partner to get checked for warts with her own doctor.

    Rgds,

    Adhari.

      i do a yearly check up on stds and my last test came back clean. Could i have got them from sharing a towel or clothing? they came up shortly after i had knee surgery when i was able to get my Hygiene back in order. My partner is clean 100%

    I think you would need the help of a dermatologist to identify these and to treat them if necessary ...
