Ingrown hair: May be helpful to clean daily with Phisohex or Hibicleanse. If problem persists talk to your doctor. Treating the problem similar to acne using tretinoin or topical antibiotics can help.

Bumps on the scrotum appeared a couple of weeks ago after having intercourse with a female. They are painless and have a hair in the middle of them. I did shave that area using clippers. Could this be ingrown hair or a Herpes outbreak ?
