Namastey
From your description and the picture attached these are Fordyce Spots. These are enlarged oil (sebaceous) glands that are not attached to hair follicles. They appear as tiny, painless white or yellowish spots and are present in up to 80–90% of adults. They are a normal anatomical variation and are not contagious. The redness with pubic hair friction suggests local irritation or mild inflammation rather than anything serious. These conditions are not sexually transmitted and usually do not require aggressive treatment. However, if the bumps are increasing, changing in shape, forming clusters, or becoming painful, conditions like genital warts or dermatitis should be ruled out with a physical examination.
Next Steps
Maintain good genital hygiene—wash gently with lukewarm water and keep the area dry. Avoid excessive use of powders or harsh soaps. You may continue a mild antifungal dusting powder for a few days if itching recurs, but do not overuse it. Trim pubic hair carefully to reduce friction. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Avoid self-applying steroid creams without prescription, as they may worsen the condition. If the bumps persist beyond 2–3 weeks, increase in number, or you feel uncertain about their nature, it’s best to get a direct evaluation (dermatologist or urologist).

Health Tips
Keep the area dry and sweat-free, especially in hot weather. Change undergarments daily and after sweating. Avoid tight clothing that causes friction. Practice safe sexual hygiene, but note that this condition is likely non-infectious. Maintain a balanced diet and good hydration to support skin health. Most importantly, avoid anxiety—these kinds of bumps are very commonly seen and are usually harmless unless accompanied by pain, discharge, or rapid changes. Thank you
