Brief Answer:
Either candidiasis or scabies, answer few questions

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be either candidiasis which is a yeast infection or scabies which is a mite infection.
I need to ask you few questions:
Are these bumps itchy?
Is their history of similar complaints in your girl friend?
Have you taken any medicine for this?
Do you have bumps anywhere else on the body ?
Kindly revert back with the answers.
