What Causes Red Little Bumps On My Perineum?

I ve recently noticed little red bumps on my perineum, kind of clustered more near my vagina. I m sexually active, more than usual recently, and the bumps are tender and slightly itchy. Is it because I ve been having more sex? Everything I ve seen describing an std in that area has one red bump with a white bump on it and I d just like to clarify that it s not like that, just several small red bumps
