bug bites?
Okay so i found two bumps near my pelvic region. I have not seen anymore but they itch a lot. I have been having sex but it has been protected sex. The bumps kind of look like pimples. They kind of look like there might be pus in them but im not sure. Its kind of hard to tell. Like I said I can only see two bumps. I have not had problems urinating or bleeding or any other symptom. Any idea what it could be? Just bug bites maybe?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If there are only two bumps, then this could also be folliculitis or hair follicle infection, boils or small abscesses. Hidradenitis suppurativa, which presents as recurrent boil-like pus-like discharge abscesses resulting in difficult-to-heal open wounds and scarring. It commonly occurs on apocrine sweat gland-bearing skin such as in the groin, the underarms and under the breasts. It is also known as ‘acne inversa’. Treatment is by topical antibiotics and steroids. The disease can spread to genitals. Another possibility is herpes or even genital warts (as they sometimes do not have the typical cauliflower like growth.
So first get a STD panel done. If this is negative, then you can treat this by applying a warm cloth to the area. This encourages the pus to come to the surface and drain. Once the boil has drained, the area should be washed with antibacterial soap and an antibacterial cream applied and kept dry, bandaged and sterile. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor preferably a skin specialist. Take care!

even if you have protected sex you can still catch crabs if your worried its crabs shave all your pubic hair off and another thing it could be is ingrown hairs if you shave down there and its grown back sometimes the hairs can't push through the skin so it grows under neath the skin which make the pimple come out
Could just be a pimple. I get like razor burn/pimple like things sometimes when I have sex alot.
You might want to check for bed bugs. If you havnt heard of them dont worry, it horrible if you have them but that might be what it is. If so then check you mattress and youll see little bugs. If not then could just be a spider bit its that part of the year where everything starts trying to get into the house. If it gets any bigger you might want to see the doc though!!
