Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of soreness on the perineum with small red bumps, sexually active but not for a few weeks.
The commonest cause is the accumulation of seat or some secretions that causes dermatitis to start with followed by fungal infection.
Consult your Doctor to get it confirmed so that a proper treatment can be instituted.
Take multivitamins for skin integrity.
Apply liquid povidone iodine if there is secondary infection.
