Hi,

I had unprotected sex with the girl I am dating (who said she was tested and clean). Just the other day I noticed a reddish bump around my pubic area.

A while back I had very tiny white-ish bumps along my shaft and I looked them up online and discovered they were harmless...some time later I have noticed they drastically reduced in number and appearance.

However, just the other day I noticed a reddish bump around my pubic area. I shaved some of my pubic hair today and noticed 5-8 bumps on my pubic area close to the base of my penis. Here is a picture (close up and only that certain region)

They do not hurt nor are they itchy. Only one of the bumps is actually reddish. Please provide your opinion. I will be seeing a doctor imminently about this but would like your opinion. Thank you.

Bumps in the pubis could could be a symptom of genital herpes, yeast infection, and syphilis. Sometimes they are just ingrown hair follicles. Pubic bumps after unprotected sex should prompt a visit to the doctor so that the proper testing can be done.

Good thing that you will see your doctor soon.Good luck. I'm sorry if I cant give you much information from the photo that you posted. It's not that clear, and besides I am not a medical doctor. I can only give general information based on the symptoms you mentioned.
