Hi AmIParanoid,
There could be a number of factors going on here, these are not always serious and could be a result from poor hygiene or a minor irritation and should disappear in a day or two. sexually transmitted infection (Sti) can last longer and are accompanied by other symptoms, you say they are not itchy are they tender, or sore? could be tight clothes rubbing against you but if you are still in doubt, it may be worth you popping along to the GUM clinic or an appointment with your GP, don't be embarrassed they see cases like this virtually every day, good luck and hope this helped. Take care
Hi there thank you for your reply - yea there’s literally no other symptoms - not sure not itchy or anything literally just the red bumps but I’ve never noticed anything like it before. Like my username says I could just be being paranoid - my skin has been very sensitive lately. I’ll give it a few days and see if they disappear and go from there I guess. But you think the fact that there aren’t any other symptoms means it’s probably just irritation?
If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, you ought to attend a sexual health clinic.
