What Causes Pimples Near The Scrotum And Penis Shaft?

I have what looks like large, 2-3 millimeters across, pimples on near my scrotum and penis shaft, in my pubic hair. I visted a doctor last January when this came up and he said it wasn t hsv and gave me an antibiotic and some kind of skin cream, used it but didn t finish as the 3 bumps I had then were gone. Now I have a few more in a different area. There is no pain, itching are other sensation around them or before they show up, and when I popped one clear fluid came out, but filled up and came back the next day. There are no other symptoms and I feel normal, just concerned.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: I think those are not furuncle but sebaceous cysts.

Explanation: If it is not itching/hurting then it is not furuncle/boils. I think those are sebaceous cysts which are harmless unless you meddle with it. So, please do not rupture and leave it like that, if it is visible and causing cosmetic problem you may visit dermatologist for its removal.
Hope this will help you. Please do let me know if it helps,
