pimple like bumps near my genitals

I can't believe so many people have the same problem, I thought I was the only one. but I'm only 13 and people saying that its from you being 'Un hygienic' I don't think it is, because I usually bath twice a day or once if I'm too tired to do so. And I wash before I get out,not with soap but bodywash if there's any difference? I think its something to do with sweat and the wieght of how much you sweat down there but who knows.

I was recently diagnosed with molluscum they look like pimples not usually any pain sometimes they can itch but by all the time they look like little pimples and come to a head and then bleed If they get picked or scratched off. It's a skin infection mostly seen in small children but can be spread thro sexual contact in adults or from just sharing a towel with someone or a simpls skin to skin contact with someone that has it

Does the doctor have to take a look at yer vag when u ask them about it? Bc I'm super uncomfortable with that

Don't know I had something like that and I have never had sex I think it was staff infection.Look up staff infection pictures on google.

I had two and went to the doctor and was told it was just friction between my skin and my clothes I was given antibiotcs and told to pat down with warm water to help if they were painful you can also squeez gently while you bath to pop them that is what the doctor did when I went to see her

I have this too for the first time.  My hustband and I were both tested for STD's before we were married and came up negative.  Now I have these painful pimple-like sores in the vagina (mostly inside the labia).  The "bumps on the outside of the labia are more like swellings under the skin. They hurt all the time and burn when I urinate.  My husband only had one on his penis (like a bug bite) but his didn't hurt or itch and has healed quickly. (We were both working in a hospital quite a bit lately...could we have caught something?)

idk is it shaving or blister pimples idk it hurts thou

They are pimples. They come with you wipe, dont was when you take a shower and/or when you sleep naked. Wneh you wipe other people have nasty germs on there hands when they break the toilet paper. If you dont was there when you take a shower it starts to smell causing odars to be trapped causeing the pimple. And when you sleep naked when someone else or you has pimples. You can get there puss and it also causes the pimple. Very rare occasions happen when its your period that that releases bad liquids to make the skin turn into pimple. Also it might be a side effect to allergies but the rest is true.

Well, to all of you saying that you have the same problem, and to the person asking the original question: it's probably not herpes. Genital acne is not a rarity and can be caused by too tight clothing that allows sweat to accumulate or bacteria to grow or doesn't allow your vaginal area to breathe, washing with too harsh of a soap which causes the glands down there to produce too much oil and for your tender skin to break out, or it can be ingrown hairs. While I don't know what your condition looks like and am speaking from research and experience, you should probably see a doctor to verify that it isn't actually herpes. 

I used to have the same thing.Solution is moisturizing..the area is too dry..I apply dove body lotion original for dry skin.And since then i never have such problem..Apply it after shower every day..  on the surface where the hair is.not inside..Havent had the problem for years

ok so i thought i was alone on this one. but clearly i am not. i have been with one partner for 16 years i am 40 now, and what happens to me is big pimples like, that when sqeezed out, "they stink!" and white stuff and blood comes out. as i do this daily sqeezing them out and cleaning the area around it, as well shaving around the area, and useing antibacteria creams nothing has helped. they simply wont go away, i sqeeze them out daily but over night they become huge again. and again i find myself thinking "has she cheated on me? what is this? because i have never had this before in my lifetime. i have become so ashamed of it i can not have sex odviously. i can not reach certain spots that appear under my scrotum, and as well on my scrotum and on my pelvic bone just above my penus, i feel i am at a loss, and the smell that comes out of these things keeps me discusted in myself. i do however wish to share what has helped. it is called HIBICLENS, (chlorhexidine gluconate solution 4.0% w/v) antiseptic/ antimicrobial skin cleanser, now i wish to say that this soap has not taken away the problem but it does help keep them from becoming stinky and huge, i am not sure what this is. and i have asked my partner if she has cheated, for she has in the past about 3 times but this was in 1996 and then again in 2009. she tells me she has not done anything sexual with anyone else, that the cheating she did was of her heart, and a feeling but no sex, she did however kiss a man in 1997 very sexualy, and then said to me it went no further, i have always been worried since this act. and have wondered if she would and could cheat on me in the way of going all the way, so this brings me to the reason i have these pimples, that i never had before, when i was locked up for 6 months i was fine, when i got home and had made love to my wife it was soon after i developed these pimples see? so of cource the question is on the table. "have you cheated on me" she says no and how dare i ask. she tinks i have no reason to ask i feel, and this is crazy, i really feel i have a sexual transmitted situation going on. i am to scared and to ashammed to be seen by a doc, the smell is horrible if popped, if left alone they become so huge that i can not even sit. they must be popped. but then the smell makes me want to throw up. how can i present this to a doc without feeling sickning or discusting inside? see?

You should see a doctor for your problem.. with there being an odor that is a sign of an infection

Right now, i have a bump.. one time it'd be underneath the surface. Another time, a white-head would appear. The other time, it'd just be a bump. I'm freaking out on the low.. I don't have an answer, but your post has made me feel a little better, and relieved, same to everyone else.

Actually taking a bath is more helpful because it is submerged in water but after the bath you are supposed to shower because as you stated, you are sitting in stagnate water which is unclean

In all truth, you will get pimple like things from shaving down there. It is an usual occurrence if you don't shave with shaving cream down there. If they get bigger and more tender than a normal pimple would, you should probably see a doctor or nurse. Sometimes it is bumps that are red and tender, even at their base, might be herpes sores. These can be tender before they appear, painful once they do, and then disappear some days later. Sometimes they come back, others they don't.
