bumps in genital area, not herpes

To the original poster,

Sounds like you should stop busting your bumps, put some cream on them, and patiently wait for them to go away. You will get bumps on/in your ass if you sit on it too long. I know if I sit for long, long, long hours I will get hemorrhoids when my immune system is low. This is rare and they will come from extremely high stress.

I had the same thing. I didn't just get these bumps on my butt. I also got them on my upper thighs. I moved to Florida and because of the hot weather. I started getting them under my arms. They were like boils. I saw multiple kinds of doctors. Some said boils. Some said folliculitus (when a hair follicle becomes clogged) and some called it cellulitus. They were extremely painful. If I didn't pop them them grew bigger and bigger. I still have a crater from one I let grow after they told me popping was bad. I never did that again. Eventually, I saw a nurse practitioner that said bacteria was clogging my pores because of the sweat. She prescribed Keflex. I picked up the pills whenever I noticed one popping out. They went away immediately. She also prescribed a roll-on erthromicyn. I used this every day for prevention. I am older now and body chemistry has changed, but this made all of that pain, puss, and scaring stop. I suggest going to a bunch of doctors until somebody finds something that works for you.

wow when i feel anything down low i get a lil worried but reading this makes me feel better.thats mainly because most of you guys's describe the same things i come across.big help,thanks.

I also get these bumps on the area between my genitals and butt cheeks. I usually can tell when they are beginning because the area will start to hurt about a day before the red bump shows up. I have not been to the doctor, but on the first day that I notice a bump I will apply Tea-Tree oil to the bump and then cover it with a small band-aid, by the following day the bump has gone down or sometimes goes away completely. I have also noticed that these bumps usually show up after I shave. :-)

Ok..Like two days ago, me and my husband had reallll rough andi mean rough sex.. Now just today while taking a shower i felt a bump on the back part of my vagina opening. Its real HARD and it feels long inbetween my fingers.. I look in the mirror and see a redish SMALL bump..but it feels so large in my hand! Im so worried of what it could be..But I do have in history from my mom getting boils in "unexplained places" just before i spend money i would like to know how to get rid of this..It is very scary.. HELP MAIL REBELLLOVIN and this is with YA HOO

I'm no Dr. But according to the way I take care of myself, I am often irritated by these same types of things.. What I do it, ( THIS IS HARSH, So hold on to you hats ) I bought what looks like a scrubbing foot rectangle for basically scrubbing the bottom of ur feet, you can get them at Sally Beauty supply, or even Target the one at Sally beauty supply is purple and I love mine. You have to understand that every time you touch your body or your skin, or have any dirt or bacteria on your hand or private areas, it can imbued under your skin, thus creating these problems... The only way to get them clean is with a scrubbing, since we obviously aren't' going to scrub ourselves with a foot cleaner... What I do is, I buy Noxema, just the Original one, I put a good amount on the foot scrubber, and I lightly graze the area with a tiny bit of pressure in a circular motion. This takes of a couple layers of skin, we all have 7, so the process goes more quickly because you've taken the skin off with a more harsh way, once you get use to it, you can apply more pressure, but because of the shape it's hard to get in those hard to reach places, but can be done, just angle the thing differently... But remember to clean it off after each use thoroughly, if you touch a spot and then touch another spot, then you can spread it. The bacteria usually takes just under a week to come out, depends on how much pain you can handle. I've literally had to get in a bathing suit and scrubbed like hell, but remember keep adding Noxeema, and keep going over it, THen the finally step once you are out of the shower to prevent spreading is get Peroxide and keep the tissue or cotton on there for as long as you can, My suggestion is 10 minutes, depends on how much time you have. But Peroxide is the main thing here, if you don't' agree with what I suggested above, then just do this... at least 10 minutes, and the same goes for zits, DON't Pop multiple zits at one time, then touch another one, that same bacteria spreads, that is what happens... Sweat and dirt can create one hell of a mess... Hope this helps, but these are all solutions to outer skin problems, inside I suggest, you get an anti biotic... Hope all are well!!!!

I have a similar situation, but I have something that looks like a pimple next to my vagina and when I push on it now the puss comes out of a little nub just on the outside of my anus. I can feel almost like a tube going from the pimple by my leg all the way to my anus.

Hi. I've been having these pimple like bumps appear on the shaft of my penis and I get scared every time they do (three times now). The last time was a day after the gym; I had a real good work out and sweated a lot (having creamed my entire body). The last appeared like a pimple and got a bit red after being squeezed; no puss and or blood, just clear fluids. I've noticed the same happening in and around my pubic area before, but was certain that it was the result of sweat, but since it's now on the shaft of my penis it scares me; having the knowledge of herpes. Can this be herpes?

Hi the pimmple like bumps near the crack of your ass seems like it derives from oral pleasure from your partner or someone you were intimate with. I have been intimate with someone recently and havent been for a while. They eat my ass good and the next morning I felt a bump in my ass crack it was like a pimple bump ripe and ready to burst.

This I strongly beleive is due to the intense constant oral pleasure I received that night. Part of it might be due to the fact that the sexual encounter I had my one night encounter might not have had there oral hygene together. I mean if your partner or one night stand doesnt take care of their oral hygiene, (bushing teeth properly, have decayed tooth etc) bacteria can activate these pimple like bumps when oral hygene is given.

Hi! I have gotten these little bumps in the top of my vagina. they are white and seems like they are ready to pop but I'm not sure if are from shaving or from oral sex? Any suggestions. 8-|

OMG I just searched for a "predisposition to pimples on genitalia" and found this post. I have the same thing! I have not been tested for herpes but I know a lot about them and have done extensive research on Herpes as well. I also do NOT see how what I have is Herpes, but it IS scary! They do not itch and although I've had two at one time once, it is usually just one at a time. They do appear in different spots between the bottom of my vagina and my anus. Sometimes occurring ON the skin, not the mucus membrane part, of my private areas. Mine also sometimes feel like the 'tube' that one person described, and sometimes they are more like boils, but they always 'pop' on their own, even if I have to assist by using hot compresses. And they have also felt huge but looked very small. They often start off feeling small and hard and seem to get less hard as they get bigger. They are always filled with puss and blood and go away totally about 3 days after 'popping'. Most times, when they 'pop', there is what I can only describe as a white head, but bigger. It kind of looks like the little balls of toilet paper you can get stuck on your pubic hair if you use cheap toilet paper. This is soooooo embarrassing and sometimes painful but not the way people describe herpes. More like the way a Zit hurts if it's on your face. After this happens enough times though, you start to worry. I was so glad to hear that I am not alone, so I wanted to share my story too. Thanks everyone for sharing this very personal, private part of your lives so we all don't feel alone and freakish. I am a very CLEAN person, I shower at least once, if not twice a day and pay close attention to washing that area and it still happens about once every two to three months and more often than not right around the time of my period. I am now 31 and did not have this issue until I was about 29. I have no idea what else to do to prevent them or what really causes them so I'm open to any helpful suggestions. Sorry, but I will not be 'scrubbing' my privets with a foot loofa and noxema, glad it works for you but it's not for me. Thanks All!

I have the same issues on my inner thigh. I read that some boils can be caused by an ingrown hair. They look like pimples and create puss and blood. But always be on the safe side and get checked for STDs.

I am a male 27 years of age. I have had these same symptoms for 2-3 years now. I cannot think when they first started. For all you guys and girls who think you have an STD, you dont. If you are experiencing these same symptoms that are described in this blog. I have not been to a dertmilogist. I get mabye 2-3 per month always in the gentail region. Normally they do not reach the "big" stage. They will start to form and are a little sore. When they start to form I increase my showers, wipe them with alchol prep pads, put neospourin and bacterium on them. Showers really work so I assume a hot compress would too. I had one the other day when I was on a training op for the military, at which time I was under alot of stress away from showers and very active. This one was the worst ever, I could barley walk. I did not have anything to pop it with. It was right on the corner of my pubic region and thigh. As soon as I got home I was on my way to the restroom to pop it and on the way I felt a slight pain and then relief. Well, it poped on the way to the bathroom. When I got to the tolite I drained it for probally 10 mins. It was a white/bloodly susbstance, the most ever. There was something new this time I had never experienced before, it had the most god afwul smell. Never before has one smelt. In doing my research I am pretty sure I have hydradenitis supprativa. Goggle it you will find alot of info. Keep in mind the awful pictures you see ARE WORST CASES. Men get the under their arm pits and gentail area. Women get them in the same places and around the brests. However they are more previlant in african americans. Do not shave the area do not wear tight cloths that will most defentialy irriate the condition. Take NSAIDS, advil etc. If you dont know google here is a link . Good luck and dont freak out its not herpies its a bad adult acne.

It could be a skin reaction. I have the similar thing. Try hypo detergent. If it doesn't go away it isn't allergies. but for me that's the only ppalce my skin reacts
