Question:
Hey,
1) For a good while now (months) I have been getting bumps on my inner thy near around my genitals. Okay, these bumps start out small and get a bit bigger, soon they get red ontop and can broken where I get white ooze. I might have 1 of these at a time in this state.. It's crazy though, I'm trying my best to explain this the best I can but I know ultimately I'll have to goto my doctor to let him see. They do not itch. They just hurt when you touch them.
I get them even when I haven't shaved for a good while. I figured while I was in school it came from sitting in those hard chairs somehow, but now I'm home for the summer and they're still coming up. They come up almost at random basically, no more than 1-2 at a time. They're not small bumps, they don't itch, they don't look like a rash.
I was concerned when I had similar bumps going on directly in my genital region so I seen my doctor and she said they were just ingrown hairs from shaving. I guess I shaved maybe last week down there and maybe this is an ingrown hair too possibly but I you know I need to know this so I'm not passing something bad around.
What do you think it could be?
2) Also, another quick question. Every so often I get a knot at the top of my butt crack (dunno how else to say it).. this I really have attributed to me sitting slumped down in hard seats because it seems very logical by how the skin in that area has pressure on it and is pushed up... But then I read another thread [healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=411683] as I was trying to see if my bump(s) described above met criteria for Herpes, and got the idea that maybe this knot/lump I get at the top of my "butt crack" could be a sign just like mentioned in that post I read. See my knot I get comes and goes based on how often I sit slumped in my hard office chair at home or at school. It hurts sometimes to slump down because of it, but back in the day it used to get irritated enough sometimes from pressures that it would become more of a skin sore that could end up bleeding somehow. It hasn't happened lately. Matter of fact I sit here to you with that same knot because I was slumped down last night and the night before. It hurts to push on.. sensitive but the skin isn't damaged, irritated, or anything like that. Aww gosh I hope this isn't some infection! Can you rule this out from being something bad?
I got some much stuff going on with me in my life and neither of these are helping at all! There has only been 1 incident where I didn't use protection but I trusted the person I was with, the other times I always did, but we know that condoms are not there to protect against STDs.
If there is something that isn't clear just ask me about it
Thanks for all of your time, and I am very sorry for this long post but I was trying include all possible relevant information.
Answer:
Update: I've identified the re-occouring large bump(s) I get on my inner thighs to meet the description of a boil; "red, pus-filled lumps that are tender...yellow or white point at the center of the lump can be seen when the boil is ready to discharge.."
I hope this helps you help me!
Answer:
Could i please get some ADVICE???
Answer:
No Help???
Also the boil or whatever has reduced in size, gone down, not sensative to the touch anymore but is still a white spot..
But in addition just recently I got a nice knot above my penis. It's under the skin, sensative to the touch too!
I wish it would go away
I do not know where it came from or why. It could be an ingrown hair?? But it's been a good while since I've shaved.. but then again my hair is still pretty short down there.

What do you do for fun? I don't mean to be nosy, just pulling at straws trying to come up with answers. Have you ever had this problem before in the past? Sometimes, when we try new things, we sometimes get a bad physical reaction from them! So, if it's something you're using on your skin, stop using it for a while. If it's something different sexually that you are ingaging in/trying, stop for a while! It really sounds like you've picked up a bug/virus of some kind. You won't know until you put everything on hold for a few weeks! If you masturbate, are you using something different than usual? Such as lotions, oils etc. Are you having safe sex? Please consider these question because your answer shouldn't be far off. Good luck!
