Need exam: In order to be appropriately diagnosed you must be seen and examined. Go see a local doctor and if they cannot recognize this they may send you to a gynecologist. Good luck.

Go to PCP: You should go to your primary care doctor (especially family practice) to get a good look at what exactly the pink bumps look like clinically and run some tests to rule out herpes.Such as a blood test or a scraping to look under the microscope. Then you can also be treated for. It if you do have it.

Folliculitis: You probably have folliculitis and you should see a dermatologist since a topical or oral antibiotic may be necessary.
