What Is The Treatment For Bumps On Pubic Area?
I have noticed 3 super tiny flesh colored bumps on my pubic area, they are not even noticeable but I do notice them when I shave and they bleed, but come back when they heal. In the same spot, I am sexually active but i know for a fact it s not genital warts, it doesn t look like that at all, unless you think other wise

Hi there.
I hear your problem & empathise with you.
From your history & description of bleeding when you shave & recurrence, I am afraid, I will have to play the devil's advocate & think of warts as my first diagnosis. Perhaps you could upload a clear digital image of the same online & consult me on the premier portal with security & discretion assured. Warts can present in a number of ways & need not fit the classical description. Other lesions in the area given your profile, could be molluscum contagiosum (viral infection) & Granuloma Pyogenicum following a 'pseudofolliculitis' or ingrown hair on account of shaving.
Please do visit a dermatologist nearest you as all these will require some sort of intervention vis-à-vis electrosurgery, chemical cautery or lasers depending on how deep your pockets are, the doctor's expertise & availability of equipment & last but not least the doctor's skill with that particular modality.
Good Luck & here's to a clear skin.
