Genital bumps associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can vary greatly in both size and appearance. They can be as small as a pinhead or as large as a pea. The bumps may be red, pink, white, yellow, or flesh-coloured and can have a smooth or rough texture. In some cases, the bumps may be filled with pus.
The most common STDs that cause genital bumps are genital herpes, genital warts, and syphilis. Genital herpes bumps usually appear as clusters of small, painful blisters that appear around the genitals, anus, and inner thighs. They can be red, pink, or white and may have a burning or tingling sensation. Genital warts usually appear as small, flesh-coloured bumps or clusters of bumps that may be raised or flat. They may have a cauliflower-like texture or a smooth surface. Syphilis bumps are usually firm, round, and painless and can appear anywhere on the skin.
If you notice any bumps on your genitals, it is important to see a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment. Untreated STDs can lead to serious health complications.
