Jock itch?Joc: If the bumps are mostly in your groin (the thigh area near the scrotum) but not on the penis or scrotum itself, then you could have jock itch, a common fungal infection. This is treated with antifungal creams (the same that you'd use for athlete's foot). But if you have itchy bumps on your genitals, you should see a doctor.
