I Have Had A Few Bumps In My Pubic Region

default
Posted on Fri, 10 Jan 2020
Question: I have had a few bumps in my pubic region for the past few months. One of which I discovered in May and it has only gotten slightly larger since I%E2%80%99ve discovered it. I%E2%80%99ve visited a general doctor who said it appears to be an infected hair follicle and I%E2%80%99ve vistited my OBGYN and received a papsmear my results came back normal and negative for HPV. I also ran blood work and it came back negative for any STD%E2%80%99s. However I am still concerned this can be something else other fhan infected hair follicles. I%E2%80%99ve also noticed that the main bump feels irritated after shaving and ive seen some bumps come and go after shaving as well. I%E2%80%99ve attached a photo for reference to my issue.

Brief Answer:
Molluscum contagiosum likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through your query and reviewed the images.

I can see pearly white, smooth, bumps of variable sizes in the pubic region. They seem like molluscum contagiosum to me. It is a viral infection.

Sexual contact with an infected partner is the most common route of infection in the case of genital molluscum.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Regarding molluscum

Detailed Answer:
hi.
Molluscum lesions can be either extracted with a fine needle or they can be freezed. Only a trained person would do that with care. I suggest you to visit a physician in your area for the needful. Molluscum is not permanent infection. It is very much curable.
Take care.
