here are some photos to help you diagnose I am hoping it's not genital warts or herrpes
Brief Answer:
Regarding a genital rash
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.
It seems like a folliculitis which is infection of the hair follicles, rather than an STD. A body massage does not lead to an STD as STDs are only transmitted through sexual contact rather than just skin to skin contact. I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily., for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
