Pimples below my pubic hair

I have a dozen pimples, above my penis. Redness, in the same place. Pubic hair, is growing out of the white tip, of the pimples. I'm not sure what it is. Both my girlfriend and I are scared. She doesn't have it though. She's the only one I sleep with. Wondering what it could be. Please help me.

Hello,
From the symptoms that you have described,it can be folliculitis.
Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.Also then get rosacea ruled out.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
