I have a boyfriend and we've been sexually active for the past three months. Ever since then; after we've had sex the area around his penis itches. He itches it till it bleeds, he says the feeling comes and goes. Mostly happens after we have sex. I dont know what is, at first i thought it was just in groaned hairs cause he trims himself down there. Can anyone help please....
go and be seen and get a proper work up done to ease your worries.

Yeah, the three or so spots last for about 2 weeks and then disappear and reappear several months later. So even though the spots last longer than normal, these spots could still be folliculitis as you mentioned earlier? Also I don't shave or anything like that down there, so can this still be folliculitis, since a lot of the reading I've done mentions shaving causes a lot of folliculitis? Also of what I have read about the issue, it sounds like it is nothing to worry about, just simply clean the area frequently and try not to cause a lot of friction or heat in the area will help the folliculitis. Is this what you have found as well? Thanks.
oh it lasts far longer than just 2 or 3 days!!! it can be a chronic issue for some folks too.

I was reading about folliculitis, and it sounds basically like what I have and looks exactly like what I have. But when I researched it, the websites say that it should only last for 2 to 3 days then disappear. Mine last for about 2 weeks then disappears and returns several months later. So do you still think this is what I have?
this sounds more like a folliculitis than anything. try to be seen when you have them and get a proper diagnosis.
