I've had these clear-ish bumps about an inch or 2 from my anus on both sides for about 3-4 weeks - no pain, itching or discomfort at all! The only reason I really know they're there is because I could feel them. I have had sex quite a bit, majority protected, and if I didn't I asked the guy if he was clean. They haven't changed at all either. I'm just wondering if you guys have had similar experiences or what you think this might be? I'm thinking herpes or Molluscum Contagiosum but just looking for insight! pictures attached - sorry about the hair (those are with flash)

    If they haven't changed in 3-4 weeks, it's not likely herpes. Molluscum feels hard. Difficult to say if that's what it is or just persistent pimples or similar. It's always best to see a doctor when in doubt or concerned.

    i think it’s safe to say you’re in the clear for herpes. usually, your bumps would’ve turned into open sores.
