Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description, these red bumps seem to be nothing but furuncles. Groins, thighs, pubic area are common site to get furuncles or boils as these areas are hairy and moist.
These have no correlation with sexual activities or in other words are not sexually transmitted infections. These are bacterial infection of hair follicles
To treat the same
Do warm saline compresses over the affected area as it helps in liquefying and draining the lesion
Apply topical antibiotic like mupirocin or fusidic acid twice in a day
Do not squeeze the lesions
Keep the area well ventilated, wear loose cotton underclothes
You may use antibacterial soap to bathe
Hopefully the lesions will resolve in 5 to 7 days. If the lesion persist a course of oral antibiotic like amoxyclav may be taken for 5 days.
Hope that answers your query. Should there be more query, feel free to write back
Ps should there be no more query, we may close the discussion.
