What Causes White Bumps Around The Groin Or Abdomen Region?

Hello, I am a 23 year old white male. Over the past two months, I have noticed tiny white pimple like bumps around my belly button, upper groin/lower abdomen. I tried popping them and they only bleed a lot. They do not itch or cause pain. I am not sexually active.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white bumps around the groin or abdomen region which seems to be due to contact dermatitis . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like photogenic dermatitis, allergic reaction , psoriasis , skin infection , sun allergy or fungal infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry and protect it from sun. Apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test , blood test , allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
