What Causes Pimples With White Heads Above The Genitals?

i have pimples with white heads right above my genitals. i noticed a few yesterday and by the end of the day there were a lot more. i have been married for 11 years and have been faithful. my wife has had a one time affair about a year and a half ago but she says she used protection. i have looked online and the pics of herpes and genital wort s dont look like what i have. mine look just like zits and arent on my genitals but all over right above them. i am trying Clearasil now that is supposed to show results in 4 hours but they still look the same. they do itch but not all the time and since i started using the Clearasil the itching has stopped all together. they arent anywhere else. what do you think it is...zits or something else.

Hi. It could be a mild Sreptococcal infection localized to the area. You should wash it regualrly and keep it dry. You could have a course of antibiotics if they are painful or discharging some pus like fluid or if there is redness around them. I would usually advice my patients Tab Augmentin for 5 to 7 days to clear the infection if thats what it is. However, to be sure one would need to look at it. So it would be in your best interest to have it checked up by your Doctor. Take care.
