Hello,

Since you didn't mention your history regarding sex. If you had unprotected sex need to rule out STI.

If not it can be due to Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection.

Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management

Bullous Impetigo- bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels

Pemphigus – its autoimmune disease can be diagnosed by Blood investigation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
