Could The Acne At The Back And The Genital Are Be Due To STDs?

About a year ago i starting getting very back acne, from then and until now ive had a slight picking problem, but about 4 months ago i started picking at what i though was acne but were the genital sweat glands. When recently picked at they bleed, and when they stop bleeding its about 1/4th Centimeter open mark, ( can vary ), and a very little amount around the injury is swolen, over time they heal, though sometimes the sweat gland or hair folicle doesnt heal correctly, and heals over with a whitish tint, should i be worried that it could be an STD i got from school maybe via restroom?. ( I am a male and just had sex about a month ago, under the age of 21, though she did not gain anything like i have... Im worried that I will get bullied if someone finds out, and is too embarassed to go to the doctors or tell a guardian. Please if any of you friendly doctors can help me, please help. ) - An anonymous Teen.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Acne over your back has no relation to STD/HIV. Many young adults and adolescents used to have acne eruptions over upper back, upper part of chest and shoulders. That is normal and due to hormonal influence.
Your penile lesions might be due to either a furunclosis or folliculitiS. That lesion also has unlikely to have any relation to STD.
As they healed already nothing to worry and it would unlikely to be transmitted to your girl friend.
