Tags: Dermatology, Skin infections, RED BUMPS, skin infection, contagious, Kids, nitrogen, region, warts

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.

Thank you very much. Do you know of where I might find an online picture of this condition? Also, how do you get such a thing? I obviously did something wrong.

Thank you again for your time.
