Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it could be molluscum contagiosum or warts.
Both are sexually transmitted viral infections.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
