Hello,

If you had unprotected sex, need to rule out STI.

You need investigation - TPHA , HSV 1+2, IgG, HSV 1+2, IgM , CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS IgG , HIV 1&2 , HbsAg, Urine Complete

If it’s NOT SEXUALLY transmitted disease then it can be –

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

Lichen planus - Pemphigus – its autoimmune disease can be diagnosed by Blood investigation.

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

Take care

Regards,
