A week or so ago, I noticed a few bumps on my inner thighs, very close to my anus.
The bumps are flesh-colored and don't itch, hurt, burn, or anything like that.
I've searched high and low on google and got nothing back that helps.
I was just wondering if maybe any of you had an idea of what this could be and/or what I can do to get rid of the bumps.
I'm pretty sure it's not an STD. I've looked up images and symptoms of many STDs, and nothing matches up. I've also been with a steady, faithful partner since a few months before these bumps showed up.

Thank you. =]

Bumps
could it possibly be keratosis pilaris?
It's where you have little bumps (could be red) that don't irritate you at all except for the fact that they're there. Something like 1-3 people have it, but I thought that you developed them when you're younger (maybe not). I'm 13 and have it on the back of my upper arms. There's not really much you can do about it, and there is no cure (if it really is keratosis pilaris).
