pubic area bumps and pimples

[chris_giakoum]

I'm not entirely sure which topic my question belong to, but I think that acne is close enough. I have these red/black bumps on my pubic area that just don't seem to go away. I first noticed these when i started shaving down there, bu that was just torture. Now I use depilatory creams for hair removal, and every time I use the cream the bumps get enflamed and stick out, but die down 2-3 hours later. There are two large distinct bumps, each about a half centimetre across, and then about five very small "pimples" scattered around the area. I know it's not an STD, because I have not had sex. Please help me. I am too embarassed to engage in any sexual activity because i am afraid that the girl will get disgusted...male 14 years old

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of Fordyce spots. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Firstly, i want to thank you for taking the time to answer. Second, do you know what this treatment entails? I.e creams drugs local area therpay? I really dont want to tell my mom about this, but i also really want to get it fixed. Do you think that i could talk to a pharmacist about it and maybe buy a cream without a prescription and just use it at home on my own?
