Hi Tony,

It could really be a simple case of folliculitis, which is infection of the hair follicles and can go away on its own with warm compress. Another differential could be molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection of the skin or occasionally of the mucous membranes that is a flesh-colored, dome-shaped, and pearly in appearance and usually affect the genitals, lower abdomen, buttocks, and inner thighs, and in rare cases, also found on the lips, mouth, and eyelids. Being caused by a virus, this also resolves on its own but may last up to 3 months.

How long have you been having these bumps? Can you elaborate more on the description of the bump? Are there other signs or symptoms present? If this persists, it is best to see your doctor for further evaluation.

Take care and keep us posted.
