Hello,
It is difficult to tell what these bumps could be without direct clinical examination.
However, these bumps could be due to
dermatitis.
Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies, and irritants. The severity of the rash ranges from mild to severe according to the cause. There might be
itching on many cases.
Contact
dermatitis occurs due to skin contact with a substance that causes an allergic reaction (allergic contact
dermatitis) or with an irritant substances (irritant contact
dermatitis). There are many causes for contact
dermatitis some involve irritants such as soaps, certain creams and some may be due to allergy.
Avoiding the causing substance is the mainstay of prevention in addition to medications prescribed by your doctor.
Another likely cause is Inflammation of the Hair follicles or the sebaceous (sweat) glands. They may be visible as small nodules or might only be felt as small lumps in the skin. They are yellow/black or red nodules on the hair shafts in the inguinal region. Nodules are often on the scrotum and occasionally on the base of the shaft of the penis. They may contain pus in them.
- Friction and fungus (less likely) can also be the causes of these symptoms although
itching is a common symptom. Skin rubbing against skin generates heat and sweat; they in turn lead to redness and painful
itchy patches.
Obese and active people are more susceptible.
Direct clinical examination is essential. So, I advise you to follow up with your doctor.
Please keep us updated.
Best regards.
