Tiny, Mounted, Tender, Red Areas On Clitoris With Itchy Body. Diagnosed Folliculitis. Any Suggestions?

hello , today my husband was performing oral sex on me when I noticed an uneasy feeling when he began . it didnt hurt it was more like a sharp tingling feeling that was not okay. We checked it out together in the bathroom when we discovered 3 little tiny mounted tender red areas on my clitoris. When you touch them It feels extremely weird. It doesn't burn or sting . when I wipe it doesn't affect it either. I just recently had my son (2months ago ) and got my last check up 2 weeks prior. The entire pregnancy all my blood test for any STDS and or HIV/AIDS were negative. Since then Today was my husband and I first time becoming sexually active again ... now this appears ???Now , I've also noticed my body itchings everywhere BADLY creating sore bumps in areas like my mouth , arms , legs , back etc . when I went a while back for the itching the doctors said it was something called folucitis(totally butchered that word) but they say the little infectous bumps come from razors etc well I haven't shaved since forever ?!
WHAT COULD THIS BE ????

Hi,

I can understand the concern for tiny, mounted, tender, red areas on clitoris with itching on body.

After reading the query it appears to be simple folliculitis. Your doctor is correct in his diagnosis. It is quite common phenomenon to have healing with this type of appearance.

I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. For time being period you can apply antibiotic cream such as fucidin or mupirocin. Take painkiller tablet such as paracetamol or diclofenac for pain and loratadine for itching. Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem.

Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to reduce sweating. Stay way form heat and humidity.
Take care.
