Considering they are itchy and that they come and go, I would say it is folliculitis.
Since there are many hairs in the area and that they are constantly rubbing against cloths, it is very likely that they become ingrown.
These ingrown hairs can get infected by skin bacteria and create bumps that contain puss and are quite itchy. I often get these in my genital area.
However, they persist for a few days only. There is another kind of bacteria that is more persistent and people usually contract them at the public swimming pools, sauna, hotel bathrooms, etc
While the regular folliculitis doesn’t need any treatment, the persistent type may need antibiotics to clear the infection.
Try applying an otc antibiotic ointment for a few days. If the problem doesn’t go away, see a dermatologist to figure this out. |

| I have a small spot at the bottom of my penis just before the scrotum. Could it be anything serious? |
