2 Red Dots on Scrotum

Dr,

Yesterday I noticed 2 red spots on my scrotom. They are approximately 1/8th of an inch in diameter each. And they are about an 1/8th of an inch apart. They don't itch or burn and they don't emit any fluids.  They barely even appear raised.  I have to mention that I have jock itch and have had it for years. I am currently using Lotromin AT and have been for over a month to subside the scortal itching. My scrotom still itches almost every day, particularly at night.  These two red dots appeared 2 days ago. I'm curious and extremely worried as to what these might be.  I'm deathly afraid that they might be herpes, even though they don't look like anything that I've seen on the internet.  I've read that herpes looks like fluid filled blisters clustered together.  These don't bother me other than that I can see them.  When stretched the area appears a little inflamed with a hair growing around each of them.  The last time that I had sex was over 8 months ago.  I applied vinegar to both of them and they didn't turn white under magnification, although one of them stung a little when I applied the vinegar.  Does it sound like anyting sexually transmitted to you?  I'm going to a docter in 2 days to have it looked at, but I always worry myself, and I'm afraid as to what this may be.  Please give my your opinion as to what these could be...  Thank you very much!

Two red spots certainly don't sound like herpes or any other STD.  Given thge hairs nearby, these are probably just inflamed follicles, possibly from friction.  I wouldn't worry if I were you.  Just apply bacitracin or neosporin ointment daily and see your diagnosis and reassurance.

Take care.

Dr, Could it also be warts?  They don't have a warty appearance, but I'm still scard none the less...

When I applied vinegar to one of them it did appear to turn a whitish color. After it looked as though the one began to peel.  Does this indicate a wart?  And if so, is it common to get warts on the scrotum?  After they both peeled a little they are back to being red spots.  I'm scared that they could be warts now!  Do you think they might be?
