Infected ingrown hair? or something else?

Hi, im 17 years old and i have sex with my girlfriend october 25th, and maybe 2 - 4 weeks later, these dark colored bumps started to appear.

some of them went away, but them a few more poped up in a different spot.

could this be an infected hair gland ?

there is a SMALL black dot in the middle. like a pen mark.

i have a picture here that i found, but i circled the bumps that looks like mine in red.

some are a dark color, some are kinda lite.

i really hope its not genital warts. i am a hypochondriac thou.

please help me and let me know what it looks like.

Well, do they have hairs in them?  Infected follicles would.  Unfortunately that picture is quite small to be able to judge.

The one STD which does have a small central indentation is Molluscum Contagiosum.  It's a harmless virus, which will clear on its own, but there are treatments which speed the process.

I'm not saying that is what you have, I am just mentioning the possibilities.
