Colored lumps in inner thigh region

For a while now I have been developing large lumps sometimes the size of a nickel on my inner thigh and sometimes closer to my vagina.  The ones on my inner thigh usually go away after a week and sometimes are darker color.They usually feel like alump below the surface of my skin.  The ones closer to my vagina can be alittle more painful.  I think because the edge of my undwear can rub against it.  Sometimes they come to a head and pop othertimes they might actually burst and put out a bit of sticky blood.  
Could this be genital warts or herpes?

sounds like ingrown hairs to me as well....you have to watch those.  I've never had one like that, but my sister had a really bad one that she thought would clear up on it's own.  Because of the location...it was right on her underwear line...it became so painful and large she went to the ER.  They told her it was an infected sebacious gland that was probably the result of an ingrown hair and she had a minor surgery to have it drained.
