Cause Of Painless Red Bumps On Mons Pubis?

What are these painless red-ish kind of flesh colored bumps on my mons pubis? Yes I'm sexually active but they showed up about 2 months ago and my boyfriend doesn't have any. They don't hurt at all, but there's about 6 or 7 I would say. They're there whether I shave or not. They don't look like warts nor herpes, I think I see hairs coming out from them but I'm not sure I can't tell. I'm going to the doctor soon I'm just looking for some insight.

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

After going through the description I would keep a possibility of either condyloma acuminata(genital warts) OR Molluscum contagiosum considering that the lesions are painless and probably are sexually acquired.

I would certainly advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis.

Warts in the genital area presents as asymptomatic, fleshy, cauliflower shaped growths. They are caused by HPV virus.


Whereas molluscum lesions are pearly white asymptomatic papules and they are characterised by a central dent/umblication. They are caused by molluscum contagiosum virus.

Treatment of both is the same. Destruction of individual lesion with either cautery or CO2 Laser. Both can also be treated by topical imiquimod applications.

regards
