I have been sexually active lately. It's itchy sometimes. and this happens after I shaved.
Brief Answer:
Possible genital Molluscum
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I have viewed the Image.
This seems like genital Molluscum Contagiosum to me. It is a viral infection and you most probably you acquired it from your sexual partner.
Shaving would aid local spread as it facilitates autoinnoculation.
Molluscum contagiosum usually presents as pearly white bumps. Some of the bumps may have a central umblication. Molluscum is asymptomatic.

Brief Answer:
