went to doctor about same problem
he told me its a combination of ingrown hairs and dirt. because my face is prone to acne, my genital area is also. shaving my pubic hair is why my skin became sensitive enough to cause them(even only once!) and told me to take greater care in my pubic area. I do shower once a day but i was my pubic area and change my underwear in the morning and as soon as i am done with work (especially after gym sessions) and wash up better after intercourse. should clear right up, mine did

I have the same problem, have you found an answer?
i have the same thing but im a virgin so its not genital herpes
i have the same thing. i got one and it went away after a week or so now i have two they are white and are very sensitive and burns when i urinate. the last one popped and puss and a little blood came out. just want to make sure it is the same thing as everyone else is talking about. TERRIFIED of std's...
I am a male. Even I know that showering is better for a women's health than sitting in a tub. If you want to sit in a warm/hot bath and want to avoid
possible problems always clean the tub before you use it. Especially if you are share the tub with others in your household. Avoid super fatted soaps
and bath oils. Use Zest! Yes, it does rinse cleaner than other soaps. And one last tip. Antibacterial stick deodorant is great for areas (not within the
vaginal opening) for preventing "breakouts". Especially on bottom of buttocks, back or top of legs. Wash, rinse and thoroughly dry area. Use stick
deordant over area. Let dry. Hey! I'm not a physician. Just a dude with a little life experience.
I have something similar to this, they look like pimples and i have only like three and they dont itch or burn, but if i mess with them they bleed...is this herpes!!!! help, i know i shaved with a dull blade and i use just normal body wash :(
could using lube cause this? Me and my BF just do oral on each other. I haven't had sex and neither has he

Some one please tell me what this is???????
I recently had a similar experience. At first, I was not sure what it was. It can be described as a slightly pink bump the size of maybe half a green pea. It actually resembled a deep pimple such as what one might find on their forehead or chin. It didn't burn, but it did itch and then became sore, and then mildly painful. The progression was rather quick - within the span of 2 or 3 days.
When I went to see my doctor, she took a look and described it as a pimple. She said that although this wasn't a common case, it was certainly not rare, and many people ask about these lesions thinking they are genital herpes. She further explained that the chance of this being genital herpes was very slim and genital herpes appear as a sort of blister. However, the only way to rule out genital herpes, she explained, was to gather a sample of the fluid from the lesion and confirm it by lab testing. The fluid from a genital herpes wart is clear, she said. In fact, as the results following a physical which included STD testing all returned negative, she was very reluctant to declare the lesion as an STD at all. However, again, she did warn that the only way herpes could be ruled out was via lab testing.
I explained to her that when I had this pimple-like lesion the first time, it popped spontaneously and released an opaque white discharge followed by a miniscule amount of blood. The doctor responded by reconfirming her diagnosis. She did mention that it could be a sebaceous cyst, which is also self-limiting for the most part. She ruled out bartholian cyst, as the location and size is contra-indicative of such.
When I asked about preventative measures or the epidemiology of the lesion, she replied that there is usually no cause (unless one shaves or waxes), and because the lesions are self-limited and resolves more or less on it's own, there is little to be done. She suggested icing the area and taking a Tylenol for the pain and wearing clean cotton underclothes. She thought it best to leave the lesion as is and recommended that no medicinal intervention by way of antibiotics or lancing be done.
I finally asked her when I should come back or seek additional help to which she replied 1) if the fluid from the lesion is clear (retain a sample and bring it in for lab testing), or 2) if the area continues to remain or become more inflamed with spreading redness and pain which is indicative of cellulitis.
Upon leaving the clinic, I refrained from wearing tight clothing to ease the soreness, and within another day, the feeling of the lesion disappeared altogether. The lesion is still present, but appears to be shrinking in size.
I hope this helps ease some minds out there. And if this isn't helpful, I feel like the best way to handle the situation is to see the doctor. It is embarrassing for sure, but the doctor will not see it that way. Besides, feeling embarrassed for 2 minutes is worth it to set one's mind at ease for a much longer time than that, no? :)

Iread about this because ihave the same problem dont worrie its not herpes lol they're bumps called boil it comes from shaving and be sure not 2 try 2 pop it just keep it clean down there and it will surely pop and go away
OMG!!!! Just came here to find answers and so glad I did! I've had one med. size on the lip area, a small one on upper front thigh, and one huge dreadful(hurts) one about two inches under the front area of my panty line. This thing is hard and hurts. I haven't had one of these in many, many years! On my way home from work today, I was thinking what could I do? I remembered after I had my baby and breast fed, when it came time to get my breast to normal, I was advised to use "cabbage leaves". Sounds crazy?? Well, I stopped by the grocery store, picked up a cabbage and applied a section of the leaf to cover the entire area of the "whatever". Anyway, it worked! Although I must admit there was terrible pain as the cabbage leaf pulled the "whatever" to a head. It bursted, blood mixed with puss exited and now I feel so much better! Try it. It works!
My son has some bumps around his genitals and two random ones one on his upper eyelid and one on the inner elbow. They don't seem to bother him any physically just emotionally. The doctor said it's comon in kids and will go away on there own. Has anyone had experience with this?

bathing is not cleaner than taking a shower. whoever told you this is wrong.
That is not allways just a acne like pimple my wife got a bump just beside and a few inchs towards her anus.This thing started like any other bump like a small pimple and insted of going away it got worse.At the time she was starting into the seventh month of pregnancy and she assumed like any other pimple that came up down there it would go away on its own or a couple of applications of acne cream would do the job.To the suprise of us both this thing went from pimple to a huge puss filled abcess the size of a lemon in less than a week.It got so bad so fast and so sore that she got me up in the middle of the nite crying like a child and this is a mother of 2 it's not like she hasn't been in real pain before.The only thing she wanted wast to go to the er and get this thing took care of.When the er doc walked in my wife was lying on her side with her ass faceing the door he looked from 10ft away and said my goodness that thing is the largest abcess that I have seen in my career and on top of that in the absolute most painful and dangerous place possible with her being pregnant.Right then he had her rushed her to sergury and lanced it the doc told us later that more than 30cc of puss came out and it left a hole the size of a golf ball in the soft tissue.The next morning a nurse showed me how to care for the wound by keeping it packed with gauze damp with saline in order to keep it open to drain any remaining puss untill the infection was gone.Tthis took about 3 more days and the whole time the poor girl had to pee in a tall glass so that no urine got into this gapeing wound on her rear end.I really loved the task that I done 4 times a day the most of all.That was packing the wound with damp gauze.That is a job only real husbands will do.The whole ordeal took 4 weeks to fully recover from and left a scar 2in long and 1in wide.Just in time to go into labor and the baby was fine if anyone was wondering.So next time you get a pimple in that area try not to forget it's in one of the sweatiest,bacteria covered,infection prone areas on your body reguardless of how clean you think you are this can happen to ANYONE.The only thing we can do is bathe regularly look yourself over for anything not supposed to be there and never assume its normal or just gonna go away.It's alot more embarassing and much more painful than a couple of questions or google just ask my wife.
