I Have Bumps Above My Genital Region But Below And

Posted on Wed, 21 Aug 2019

Question: I have bumps above my genital region but below and on my belly button. I have no idea what they are but they dont hurt nor do they hurt, theyre just....there. The first one popped up about 5 months ago and theyve been steadily showing up until now when there are 6 of them. Theyre all tiny in size. Im worried its an STD or an STI, but Im not showing any symptoms to believe that and I want to get an opinion before I go to the doctors office. Thank you

Brief Answer:
The lesions do not seem to be due to any STDs

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,

I read your query in details and understand your concern.

The lesions you are describing and by what I saw in the uploaded image do not seem to have characteristics of an STD.

Very likely they are due to folliculitis (hair root inflammation) but a visit with the doctor is important to confirm this.

On the other hand, if you have been exposed to risk for STDs (unprotected intercourse) it may be advisable to have a screening for these conditions as many times they may be asymptomatic and the patient may still have the infection.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case any further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,

Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
General and Family Physician
