tiny pink bumps, dont itch, dont hurt

[createanew]

Hi i have tiny pinkish bumps on my inner upper thigh, kind of near my groin. They do not itch and do not hurt, theres about 20 of them in a very small area, i do not know where they came from, i always use a condom. what could they possibly be?

Thank you thats pretty much what it looks like, its only in an area a little smaller than my thumb, i was wondering what i can do just in general to keep it from spreading or to get it to go away

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be lichen nitidus. It is characterized by 1-2 mm, discrete and uniform, shiny, flat-topped, pale flesh-colored or reddish-brown papules. Generally it is self limiting but severe cases may need glucocorticoids.

I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. Also then it has to be differentiated from dyshidrotic eczema.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
