Itchy red bumps

I had intercourse with a girl in july, and god very sick after ward which i think was unrelated. Was kind of not taking care of myself at the time working too much plus i got sick the very next day. That following week i had sex with someone else, which display no reference to my sexual history i've slept with four girls my whole life. Both of them i used a condom and the sex didnt last very long between me and the second girl because i was sick at the time and had like no energy so there wasnt that much contact. I havent been sick since then, but about a week after i slept with the second girl i started developing a two red bumps on my shaft of my penis. They were very very itchy but dint seem to grow and didnt seem to spread or cluster like genital warts. It is now november and i still have them there and also i shaved my pubic hair off and now i have very tiny white bumps on my scrotum which dont have any hair growing out of them and itch very badly though this rash didnt seem to spread elsewere  the pictures on the internet look nothing like what i have. The bumps arent blistering so i know its not herpies. What do i have. I know i should see a doctor but im a very broke college student. Im scared that it might be HIV rash or something but   wouldnt that blister.

i forgot to also mention a strange episode i had, this may be unrelated but a group of me and some friends were just watching tv one day i experienced a strange sensation in my right hip it was a very painful cramped feeling almost like constipation, it continued to get worse and i almost past out it felt very simliar to a time when i sliced my foot open on glass (the passing out feeling) the room started to to feel small and people speaking to me sounded at a distant almost like at the end of the tunnel. I didnt pass out though i felt a pop in the area and i immediatly started feeling better and i ate some icecream and the i went from pale to having some color back in my face. Im going to see a doctor asap i finnally got insurance and some money to cover for the bill. But im like worried what is going on with my body. I feel as though im being a hypocodriac but i just know when theres something wrong with the way i feel.

Hi,

This could be folliculitis. In most individuals there are outbreaks of folliculitis from time to time.

Folliculitis is infection and inflammation of the hair follicles. The condition may be superficial (i.e., on the surface of the skin) or deep within the follicles.The most common cause of folliculitis is infection by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.

Folliculitis symptoms can appear independent of infection. Exposure of the skin to certain chemicals, especially oils and tars, can trigger an outbreak. People with depressed immune systems, diabetes, or obesity have a greater risk of contracting folliculitis than the general population.

Patients with chronic unresponsive folliculitis may require investigation into the source of the infection. S. aureus bacteria can live in the patient's nostrils, periodically triggering a folliculitis outbreak.

Individuals who are predisposed to folliculitis should be extremely careful about personal hygiene. Application of antiseptic washes may help prevent recurrences. A topical antibiotic cream, mupirocin (Bactroban®), has been effective at reducing bacterial colonization in the nostrils. It is applied twice daily for a week and is repeated every 6 months.

If there any of the mentioned medical causes then treating those will reduce the occurence of the condition.

Some stubborn cases of folliculitis have been responsive to laser-assisted hair removal. This process uses a laser to destroy the follicle. This reduces the scarring that results from folliculitis.

Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent.

Regards.
