Brief Answer:
Lesions suggestive of skin irritation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for addressing your question here.

The appearance of the bumps seem to be due to some kind of irritation to the skin.
This can be due to sweating, shaving ,waxing, wearing too tight undergarments etc.
You can try few changes like changing to light breathable cotton underwear, switching from waxing to shaving or vice versa, keeping the area always clean and dry, wash using light soap and warm water and avoiding use of any over the counter washes ,creams etc
If you plan on shaving, change razors frequently, shave in direction of pubic hair and use a shaving cream
If you develop pain ,burning, itching or discharge, consult your doctor to look for infection.

Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
