What can cause Small bumps in the genital area that sometimes itch?

Answer 1

Small Bumps in Genital AreaI am assuming that you do not have any other signs/symptoms. It is not unusual to develop a rash or "bumps" in the genital area. The important questions are, are they painful? Is there any itching or bleeding? Do they seem to be spreading? If none of this applies, it is doubtful that you have an STD. What concerns me is that you are worried that you might. Please take care of yourself and (sorry to sound preachy) always, always practice safe sex.

Here is more information from Wiki s contributors:

• Don't be too alarmed. In some cases it could be mild acne, which, while it isn't good, is not an STD. Try to pop one like a pimple and see what happens. If it is acne, then use a gentle acne wash.

• Yes, this could be a sign that you have an STD. There is no way to diagnose you over the internet, without having a physician perform a thorough medical history and physical examination -- despite what some may say -- you will not know for sure if you have an STD, unless you see your physician.

As you already well know, STDs can be highly transmissible and contagious. If you are sexually active and have intimate contact with another person's bodily fluids and mucous membranes, (which includes genital to genital, genital to mouth, hand to genital, and even mouth to mouth, especially if you have any cuts in your mouth or bleeding gums), you should ALWAYS protect yourself with a barrier form of contraception (condoms, dental dams, female condoms).

If you have any suspicious bumps in your genital or anal area, you really owe it to yourself and your partner to tell your partner about the bumps. And then if you decide to pursue intimate relations, USE CONDOMS (or a barrier method listed above)!!

Remember herpes is a disease that is not currently curable. There are medications to reduce the frequency of outbreaks, but they do not eliminate the herpes virus from your body. In females, there are additional things to be aware of, if you have genital herpes, particularly if you become pregnant. These are things you should discuss with your doctor!!

Other STDs out there, are easily treatable or curable -- that is also why you should see your doctor. If you can't afford to make and appointment to see a private physician, there are reduced-fee and free health clinics that can help you in any city. Check your local phone listings for info on free clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) in your area. Note Planned Parenthood can provide you with Birth Control, STD testing, pregnancy testing and prenatal care, and STD treatment. AND know that all physicians follow a strict code of ethics which ensures patient confidentiality and privacy.

Again, you can't know what STD you have, without having a physician examine you and review your medical history. If you cannot afford a doctor's visit, check your local phone book for listings on free clinics and Planned Parenthood clinics.

(FYI, I am a true physician and hope that this information helps. Again, you should always check with your own doctor because each individual's situation and medical problems and history are unique. It is unwise and oftentimes unsafe to take advice from a physician who has not examined you and taken a full medical history from you. In taking medical advice over the internet, you are taking a risk that could affect your health and life. Have a great day, and talk with your own doctor about your situation. )

• It could be Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules, which are not infectious, sexually transmitted and present form childhood. They are a normal anatomical variant. Use Google images to look for a picture. If you have any chance of having been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection or the spots are new you should visit a doctor. FYI I am a family doctor

• The first answer is somewhat misleading - lesions can be painless and still be the symptom of an STD. In fact syphilis usually presents in the primary (first) stage with a painless lesion (called a chancre).

  Any suspicious lesion should be examined by a doctor or the Health Department if you have been sexually active whether or not you have used condoms. The reason for this is that condoms do not always cover infectious areas and only provide protection in areas directly covered by the condom. Diseases such as syphilis and herpes which spread by direct contact can bypass condoms altogether.

Answer 2

It could be a heat rash or possibly a food allergy.
