What Causes Cluster Of Painless Bumps On Perineum?
Question: A few days ago I noticed a painless couple of bumps on my perenium (sp). They do not hurt, even when I use the rest room. I had some hemerroids over the holidays but just noticed the bump last Friday evening. As I said they do not hurt and I don't know what they look like. I may have cut myself there about a week and a half ago while shaving my pubic area but I'm not sure. I am sexually active with one person. Any idea what it could be?
Brief Answer:
Can you upload photos, that will help.
Detailed Answer:

I uploaded two pics and they look white and now feel a bit like skin tags...not as hard as they initially were.
Brief Answer:
These are sentinel skin tags.
Detailed Answer:
These are actually sentinel skin tags, sometimes found over haemorrhoids, hence the term ' sentinel ' .
One of them seems still slightly inflamed ( infected ) however as they are not painful, it will subside on its own.
The tags often remain, unless you desire their removal for cosmesis.
You should also have an internal gynecological evaluation to rule out any bumps inside the vagina ( you might not always feel those ) .
Also, have a surgeon look at these skin tags and the haemorrhoids for treatment.
Take care.
