The appearance of bumps, warts, or lesions in the genital area can be worrisome and raise many questions. While in some cases they may be harmless, in others they may be a sign of an infection or medical condition that requires attention. It’s important to know the possible causes and when to see a specialist.
Possible causes
: Folliculitis: This is the inflammation of the hair follicles caused by friction, shaving, or a bacterial infection. It presents as small, red, or pus-filled bumps that can be itchy or painful.
Sebaceous cysts: These are fatty lumps that can appear on the skin. They aren’t usually dangerous, but they can become inflamed or infected.
