Do I have genital warts?

I have been dealing with this itchiness on my inner thigh for a few years. They look like just red bumps slightly raised. I went to a my GP and he said it is just chaffing however they did not go away after his treatment. So I went to a dermatologist and he said it was genital warts however his treatment of a topical cream and freezing did not work either. He couldn’t give me a clear answer as to why it didn’t respond and what else it could be. It does get itchy at night and when I am working out (sweating). Other than that I usually don’t notice it.

Totally agree. Google folliculitis and see if that fits.

Also, they make anti-chafe balm - look for Body Glide Original Anti-Chafe Balm, or other similar ones. You can find it for less than $10 on Amazon.

Warts usually dont ictch, they tend to grow into bigger ugly bumps skin color.

If you have big body mass rubbing and sweating - folliculitis is likely.

If its little red bumps centered on hair follicle openings and itch, its folliculitis.
