Help! Weird red spot above my pubic hair region

[Pineapplekia]

There’s this red spot at my pubic hair region. No pain whatsoever. Visited a FL less than one week back but didn’t do much except HJ + fingering + her sitting around my groin area.

Also had a pimple about 2+ weeks back. Didn’t pop it though.

Is this a wart? :(

Warts are not red they are flesh coloured.

Warts are not red they are flesh coloured.

Thanks Sam! The doctor said that it might be folliculitis. But there’s no pain when I press on it :confused: and it’s really tiny. Maybe 1mm in dia?

TS do you have a picture of how the red spot looks like?

[victor125]

Very likely it is just folliculitis, maybe too tiny you don't feel it pain?

If lots of it could be MC. And might elvoes to bubbles like spots.

That red spot eventually developed into a very small pimple so.... all is well! :)

Molluscum contagiosum (MC), sometimes called water warts, is a viral infection of the skin that results in small, raised, pink lesions with a dimple in the center.[1] They may occasionally be itchy or sore.[1] They may occur singly or in groups.[1] Any area of the skin may be affected, with abdomen, legs, arms, neck, genital area, and face being most common.[1] Onset of the lesions is around 7 weeks after infection.[3] It usually goes away within a year without scarring.[1]

MC is caused by a poxvirus called the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV).[1] The virus is spread either by direct contact including sexual activity or via contaminated objects such as towels.[4] The condition can also be spread to other areas of the body by the person themselves.[4] Risk factors include a weak immune system, atopic dermatitis, and crowded living conditions.[2] Following one infection, it is possible to get reinfected.[9] Diagnosis is typically based on the appearance.[3]

Prevention includes hand washing and not sharing personal items.[6] While treatment is not necessary some may wish to have the lesions removed for cosmetic reasons or to prevent spread.[7] Removal may occur with freezing, opening up the lesion and scraping the inside, or laser therapy.[7] Scraping the lesion can however result in scarring.[9] The medication cimetidine by mouth or podophyllotoxin cream applied to the skin may also be used.[7]

Approximately 122 million people globally were affected by molluscum contagiosum as of 2010 (1.8% of the population).[8] It is more common in children between the ages of one and ten years old.[2] The condition has become more common in the United States since 1966.[2] MC is not a reason to keep a child out of school or daycare.[10]
