Please Help!

I am 22 years old. I have sex regularly with different people and i have always been safe. But recently i noticed that in around the genital area there are small raised white to skin colored spots / dots (the largest one being about 1.5 mm across). They are not painful. They are not itchy after the first few days. they look like pimples, like there is some kind of discharge inside. I have tried to break one out of frustration, but nothing happened. There was no discharge either. i am worried because. new spots keep showing up and the old ones grow bigger. Please Help. i am too embarrassed to consult a doctor.I am scared that it is Herpes. but the spots are not painful. I would be really glad to know what this is called so that i can start some kind of medication.

Help! Please!

If the spots are not sore, and they continue to grow and spread, that does not sound like herpes.  Looking like something is inside, either sounds like pimples, or possibly Molluscum.  Could be HPV too but it's really hard to tell from that description.  

In any event, you are going to have to get over your embarrassment with seeing a doctor.  Part of the training that doctors receive tells them not to be judgmental, and I'm sure that any doctor has seen plenty of acne/HPV/Molluscum whatever.

The only way to know for sure is to take a Herpes test. If you shave, it could just be a hair folicle.
