I have some eruptions on the skin of my pubic area. What could they be?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am having these hard clusters of bumps show up in the pubic region. The bumps are not razor burn. They are not filled with fluid. They can be cut off, but I want to get to the source to remove them. They do not itch, nor do they hurt. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

It could be molluscum contagiosum or folliculitis. A skin biopsy would help to diagnose. Do you have a history of unprotected sexual exposure? Do not touch or prick it. It can lead to a secondary infection.

Thank you for consulting me.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

For folliculitis, one may apply Fusidic acid 2 % cream, twice a day, until it resolves. But molluscum contagiosum needs to be removed with a needle and molluscum extractor. Topical applications will not help.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
