Question:
|
|
|
| I have a few small bumps around my pubic region. none of them actually touch my penis. As i shave i thought they were shave bumbs, but they seem to last a little longer. I can pop them like a pimple also. Could this be an std???

| Thank you for your inquiry. Difficult to say, as for most skin conditions a description is insufficient to make a reliable diagnosis. This could "just" be a superficial skin infection, or it could be a harbinger of something more difficult to treat. Again, see your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. You might also be best advised not to shave especially if you are sexually active; breaks in the skin as are inevitable with shaving no matter how carefully do raise the risk of transmission of blood-borne infections. Hope this helps
