Kindly upload images

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for asking.
I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.

I request you to kindly upload a few good quality images of the affected area in "Reports Section" so that I am able to have a look at and guide you better. I don't think you have genital herpes because it usually presents with recurrent episodes of painful genital sorer rather than as persistent asymptomatic bumps.

Awaiting...

Brief Answer:
Milia /Milium

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
I have viewed the images. I can see pearly white bumps. They are Milium /Milia which are superficial keratin cysts. They can be easily extracted with a needle. This is not genital herpes or any other STD.
