Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From your description it seems like Molluscum contagiosum, a sexually transmitted viral infection.
Acne vulgaris does not affect groin and penis.
Kindly consult a dermatologist for examination and diagnosis. Molluscum can be extracted.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
