could be an ingrowing hair as they make the skin kinda sore, purplish.
Mention that you shave at the clinic and they might be able to take a closer look.

do you wax or shave? could be ingrowing hair, they can turn lumpy and very painful.

If not that, a trip to the GUM/GP/Family Planning is advisable to give you a clean bill of health. could be something simple like acne, but could be loads of other things now as well with the way were asked to check lumps.

Head to your GP asap to rule out any other health issues

Hope this is useful and dont forget to use condom protection
