I Have Recently Discovered Several Little Pearl Like Blisters Around
Question: I have recently discovered several little pearl like blisters around my pubic hair region they have a couple side-by-side but they are not in clusters. I do not have any on my shaft or The head of my penis. They do not hurt and they do not itch and it looks like the ones that have healed have not left an ulcer on the skin. Is it possible that I have genital herpes or is it possibly something else? Is genital herpes always found on the shaft or the head of the penis? Or can it be located in your pubic hair region?
Brief Answer:
Probably genital herpes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The lesions seem to be related to genital herpes.
Genital herpes can occur everywhere in the genital area, but the blisters are more common around the penis.
Did you have an unprotected intercourse during this period?
If yes, this can be the cause of your lesions.
If not, another possible cause can be folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicle.
If possible please upload a photo of the rash for a closer diagnosis.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!

Based on the lesions appearance, they don't look like molluscum contagiosum.
