I have about 20 - 30 small (pimple size) red bumps in the pubic region. These are not ingrown hairs, or pimples. I am a male, and please advise on some options.

Thank you

You may have molluscum warts. These are often not contagious, but they need to be treated. Please see a doctor for diagnosis and therapy, which may involve application of liquid nitrogen or acid, but isn't likely to be too strenuous.

Best.
