Question : What are these bumps? I've only had protected sex. The bumps are irritaing but are not painful. Almost like a bruise but no burning sensation. I've recently changed soaps so I'm not sure if this is a reaction. Most of the bumps are on the outside skin part. They do not hurt when I touch them.

Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear thanks for writing your health concerns.
These are related to either rough sex or a synthetic underwear but can be managed easily.
Apply t-bact ointment on the affected area and keep it clean and dry.
Take tablet augmentin 625 mg two times a day for 5 days and it will suffice.
Take care

They almost seem like sores but do not appear to be open or any any liquid. Just want to be sure these don't resemble a herpes outbreak.

They are not any more painful that a bruise but they are noticible and if pee gets on it it does irritate it.

So I was told by an urgent care it was follicutus and put on some antibiotics. She did say it an extreme case of it but did not think it to be herpes. I've noticed since I started to take the antibiotics they have gotten itchy and more painful but that appears to be common from what I read. She did not recommend a cream due to the severaity of the spots.I am just really concerned. All the articles seem to compare it to herpes. Would herpes be in more a cluster? I have multiple spots but not many actually touch and are seperated.
