bumps in pubic hair region

ptp
I have numerous pink/pale colored bumps in my pubic region (from below belly button down towards the shaft of penis) but not on the shaft (although I did see one zit like bump on shaft recently but far away from the tip) There is no itch present in these bump they are just unsightly.  I have read on internet and have no self diagnosed myself with everything from seborahic keratosis to genital warts.  I have had 3 sex partners in last 6 months but used condoms in all instances but received unprotected oral sex.  Any thoughts ?  I have scheduled a dermatolgy appointment and my regular physician said they looked nothing to worry about.

My husband has a similar situation, his bumps are pinkish or skin colored with a whitish center.  Just wondering if yours were the same thing and what the doctor says.  I'm also wondering how you get them.

After reading your post I wondered what happened.  I have a similar situation and have for about two months now.  As you stated they do not itch and do not extend past the pubic hair and onto the penis in any way.  I have tried numerous things, including just leaving them alone and hoping they'll go away.  That has not worked for me unless they take a couple months to go away.  Any comments you could make or advise would be greatly appreciated.

You don't say how long they've been there.  They may just be follicles or cysys common in this region.  Genital warts don't often affect the pubic region, as opposed to the penile shaft.

I suggest you just leave the bumps alone and show the dermatologist.  More than likely, you'll be advised to forget about them.

Take care.
