Doctor can examine: Spots and rashes are hard to describe in words, so a primary care doctor or dermatologist can evaluate. Genital rash can be folliculitis (hair follicles affected), small pustules (bacteria), irritation from friction, candida (yeast), tinea (fungus), pubic lice bites, other insect bites, an allergy to a substance or clothing, heat rash (sweat glands affected), hot tub rash (bacteria), eczema, etc.

Genital irritation: Please see your family doc so he/she can take a quick look. Skin conditions need to be visualized. If nothing you will have peace of mind. Peace and good health.
