I really don't know how to start this off so I am just going to jump in here. My b/f has been getting some really nasty and HUGE white head looking sores in the hair above his genitals. I don't think they are white heads because nothing comes out of them except blood. They start off being little bumps that are sore and then after a few days turn into something really nasty.. it has me really worried. I have tried to get him to go and see a doctor but he won't go. At the moment he has 2 of these things on him. Please help if you can!

he will need to see a dr. if they are not pimples. if you are fairly certain that they are not, remember that you don't have to come in contact w/ his genitals if you feel nervous.

you will need to get him to see a doctor.. it might be serious. I learned in health class that it can be an infection, and you should try to avoid contact, cuz you might get the infection.

He needs to go see a doctor before the infection spreads or gets any worse. Make sure that you don't come in contact with the infection or you could get it as well.

Take care!

yes by all means, have him go to a doctor. It could be something simple like a skin allergy to a soap or detergent recently used...which the doctor can prescribe a topical cream to get rid of it. It can also be something else which like those above advised, do not come in contact with it.
Hope it turns out to be nothing serious, let us know.
