Hi doctor,
I am a 51-year-old male and I am in good health. Over the last two weeks, I have developed four small pimple-like bumps, within my pubic hair, that has basically come and go over the period. They are not clustered or oozing anything. I have no other symptoms when I notice the pimple-like bump it is annoying. By annoying, I mean irritating. They appear to be healing pretty fast and not hanging around (within a few days). I have also noticed these bumps appear after I work out. I sweat a lot when I work out. I get cold sores so you can guess that I am quite anxious that I might have genital herpes. I am sexually active. The obvious question is, do you think I might have HSV-2?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
You possibly have folliculitis and it may be due to your work out related sweating. Please use the antibiotic cream and antibiotic soap. It should get alright and if possible please give photos of your lesion for better clarity.
Thanks and regards.
