bumps
Hey
A couple of months ago i started noticing real little bumps on my pubic area on the shaft. Fearing the worst i talked with a nurse and had a std test done. She was sure that i didnt have symptoms for a std but i did the test anyway. It came back negative. I talked with a friend and she said it was a heat rash and talking with the nurse she said it might be a tropical rash as well. I have been putting lotion on the area do u have any suggestions ??

No it was on my balls as well. I cant see them all the time usually when i rub it. the ones on my balls are just about gone.. no i dnt think so. No there not itchy or crusting there is a tiny bit of wetness but i think that's from the lotion that i put on it. oh alright no it's not either one of those colors just my skin color right thanks for the advice doc..

Hi.
Are these bumps noted over the shaft alone or do you also see them over the pubic region?
Do the rash involve the hair follicles? Are they itchy, weeping ,crusting or scaling?
Differentials may be enlarged sweat glands, blocked hair follicles, folliculitis or dermatitis. At this point infectious disorders like a folliculitis or fungal infections have to be ruled out first since these condition are contagious. A heat rash may be likely although heat rash usually occurs in other parts of the body like the back or the chest.
This does not sound like an STD. Just observe the condition some more. If there is any pus or yellow greenish bumps present, any enlarged nodes in the area, then you may need to have this assessed by your doctor.
