Hello,

Since you are very much sure it's not STI other causes are

Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection


Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances

Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management

Bullous Impetigo- bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
