Question : I have red bumps spaced out on my groin and lower stomach area. probably 15 in total. They do not itch or hurt in any way. A few have gone away but others have appeared in different areas. I have been sexually active but with the same partner for 12 months that does not have any of the same symptoms.

These might be molluscum, a viral infection.
If possible upload a better photograph of the involved area.

Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photograph.
You have developed a superficial bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocine to be applied twice daily for two weeks.
It is safe and effective.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
