Brief Answer:
Neither warts nor skin tags. Infundibular cysts.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the bumps on the genital area. After analysing the pictures with best diligence let me reassure you first that these are neither warts or any other Sexually transmitted infection.

These are simple proliferation of the oil glands which are known as infundibular cysts and are quite commonly seen.

These are formed due to blockage of the oil glands and can be o varying size from pin head to even tip of little finger.

These are totally asymptomatic condition and never cause any pain or itching or irritation over the affected area.

In my patients I remove these with simple procedure known as radio frequency ablation. You can meet a dermatologist to get these removed.

I hope these informations will relax your mind. I will be glad to answer any further queries.

With regards,

Dr Sanjay Kanodia
