zit like bump in pubic area - Autoimmune Disorders Message Board

About a month ago I developed an odd bump about 3" above my penis....it started off like a zit but never developed a white head, just ended up being red and flat. I didn't think much about it until 2 more started to form about halfway between the last one and my belly button. They don't itch or anything, just wondering if anyone has any idea what they might be.
Thanks

I can't diagnose you, but they sound a lot like ingrown hairs. Is there any reason to suspect that you've been exposed to any stds?

you might have a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa--cyst like bumps that can form in pubic areas, under arms, etc... try an internet search good luck!
