What Causes Small Bumps On The Foreskin And Scrotum While Being Sexually Active?
My boyfriend had small bumps on his foreskin and scrotum. He said he asked a doctor before and they said they re maybe just skin tags or pimples. He popped them and worms came out. He said he got pinworms before but was never treated because they just went away. Now the itching in his anus is back as well. What should be the treatment for this? Will I get infected from having sex? I do not have any symptoms.

Hello,
Pinworm usually infects the perianal region. For that, you can be prescribed albendazole like medication. It can spread by intimal contact so better to avoid sexual relation until he recovers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
