Question 1

Accepted Answer

Genital herpes: This is not the usual location for recurrent herpes; pimples or something else may be more likely. However, if the "bumps" are a cluster of blisters or ulcers typical for herpes, it certainly is possible. If it happens again, see a doctor ASAP for PCR testing of the sores for HSV, ideally within 1-2 days of onset. A blood test also may help:  if positive for HSV2, in raises the chance it's herpes.

Question 2

what can cause small red itchy bumps on inner thigh?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Hives localized to the inner thighs may be due to multiple causes. The area is warm and one thigh can rub against the other. It can be due to cloth or chemicals in pants, just to give a few examples. Wear non-tight pants; when itchy, apply Sarna with pramoxime. Otherwise, keep dry with cornstarch or talc. Take an antihistamine such as fexofenadine or cetirizine. No help - see your physician.

These really cuts?: Can you see linear breaks in the skin or are you just feeling tenderness?  This may be herpes.  Or may be other things.  Why don't you see a doctor and get examined?  Otc meds not a substitute for accurate diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Red painful "bumps": What you describe may just be a friction based rash in a normally very sensitive area.  It may also be herpes type two, commonly acquired with sexual contact.  See your healthcare provider to be certain: Tests can be done to explain the cause only when the lesions ("bumps") are present.

Question 7

i have an outbreak of skin tags on my inner thigh and panty line area.. should i be concerned and what causes it?

No: Skin tags are benign growths that are harmless. You may want to remove them for cosmetic purposes or they bother you when you put your clothes on. The exact cause is not known; however, it is believed that skin tags occur from skin rubbing up against skin, since they are so often found in skin creases and folds.
