What Causes Bumps In Groin Area?
Iv been with my girlfriend for over a year now and have only had intercourse with her. Sunday-Tuesday we had intercourse and i think she started her period because after i noticced a little blood on my pubic region. The same week on thursday i started to notice little red bumps start to form and are scattered around. I dont shave but 1 felt like an ingrown hair and i have a bad habit at picking at it. The 1 i was picking at felt like a bump or lump under the skin. What could this be or is it an STD?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
The lump you have got under the skin should not be a sign of STD. As you are describing, the lumps you are feeling with the ingrown hairs are most probaly due to the friction on the area as ell as can be due to the prolonged wetting also with the direct contact. It is kind of an allergic reaction of your skin against the discharge from vagina.
There's no need to worry. You should keep the area clean and dry. And don't expose the are to friction as well. If you see the bumps growing, it can be sign of a pustule formation. In that case, you can take help of your physician who can incise and drain it if need be and cover up with antibiotics.
Hope this helps.
