Hi,

It is indeed normal for the follicles to get irritated due to friction or any other trauma , even tight clothing and sweat accumulation.

You should wear lose , comfortable clothes. Keep the area clean and avoid sweat accumulation.

How are you doing now? Have you consulted your doctor for a clinical examination?

Post us about any other doubts that you have and about what your doctor has advised.

This bump does not resemble a lesion. It mainly looks like a pimple. I have very present hair follicle bumps under the shaft which i have been told is normal. I am wondering if it is normal fo them to get irritated from sex

Hi,

This could be due to acne/pimples/ or infection of the hair follicles called folliculitis or some bacterial infection/ fungal infection or some skin nodules etc.

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

It would be best to reconsult your doctor about your symptoms if they do not resolve and get a proper clinical examination.

Keep the area clean and wear clothes washed in a few drops of chlorhexidine preferably and dried in the sun.

You could take oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications for the itching.

Let us know about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
