A few causes: Possibilities 1. Folliculitis: An infection of the hair follicles 2. Herpes:Caused by the same virus that causes cold sores and is sexually transmitted 3. Pubic lice: An infestation by a bug 4. Rash: you may have a rash caused by a reaction to harsh soap products Please visit your doctor who will look at them and decide exactly what they are. Hope this helps.
