Bumps above groin

I usually shave around my groin area, last time being about a week and a half ago. About a week ago I started noticing some reddish, brown bumps on the skin above my groin. There seems to be around 15 or so of them and are spread out across the area that I have shaved. I usually don't have irritation when I shave so I started wondering what it could be because I have had unprotected sex recently. About 6 weeks ago and the then again the weekend I shaved. The bumps don't have any fluid in them, no puss, but will bleed if you scrape the head off, They are all pretty much Red now that I have scrubbed the area. They seem to all be broken open. They don't hurt, itch at all, even when touching. The bumps are all perfectly round, not grouped, and pretty much the same size. Also I currently am having an outbreak of tinea versicolor which is a fungus, some spots are in the same area. I was wondering if recently shaving might have left my skin open to infection, if I might have picked up something from the girl I was with. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. I took a picture of the bumps as well.

You have given almost a perfect description of molluscum contagiosum, a sexually transmissible viral infection.  Not at all dangerous, but you'll need to see a health care provider to get a definite diagnosis and treatment.  For more information, see the STD Forum message "Warts on Legs" Sept 23 2004 and my response.

I'm probably going in to get tested for some stuff anyway,  I was having some pain during ejaculation off and on for about 2 months,  and slight red tint to the semen.  I went to doctor yesterday and showed him the bumps as well,  he just said go get tested because the "prostitis" symptoms might be related to STDs,  When talking to him, he really didn't put forth much information. I was just curious which STD's might cause symptoms associated with prostitis?  He subscribed some bactrim for me so going to see how that goes.
