    Rash/bumps on my middle to bottom balls
    Im sorry I put balls... I didn't know another name for it... but anyway... I have a rash on my balls on the right side.. I am not sure how long I have had them, they are like little bumps and there is a lot of them they don't stand out very much.. u have to stretch the skin to really see them.. but they are there... I have been with my girl friend for a while and we have done it many times to many to count... and have not used a condom more then 2 times... and I have had sex with 3 other girls... also I am 19.. I'm not sure what it is... it itches sometimes when I'm laying in my bed.. but only itches every once in a while... kind of scared to go to the doctors because I live in a dorm and I don't know were anything is at except the college doctor which kind of scares me...

    I keep reading about it maybe being ingrown hairs or jock itch... do you think it could be that..

    I think another name for it would be scrotum. And you could have a variety of problems, best to go check out a doctors opinion.

    It's really impossible to say what it is over the internet. Have you been exercising or running or anything that might have cause the area to become irritated. You said ingrown hairs, do you shave there? I would say that especially because you are sexually active, it would be best to go to the doctor. It might be something totally harmless, might be something serious that needs treatment. Sorry, wish I could help more!

    You really shouldn't be embarrassed to go to the campus doctor. Trust me, they have seen much worse than a rash. Think of the doctor as your employee. It's just their job, they aren't going to judge you or make fun of you or anything.

    I would have STD testing done if you have had unprotected sex. If you don't want to go to the campus doctor for that, check with the health department. The health department will probably offer free STD testing, or at least offer it at a reduced rate. If they don't, they can help you find another place to go. But I really wouldn't be embarrassed to ask the campus doctor. Hope this helps!

    It isn't really the embarrassing part with the doctor.. it is making the appointment.. the lady will ask what I am going for... anyway yes I am very athletic and I ride my bike to class everyday.. it isn't very far.. but I still ride it to class back and forth..

    I wonder if it could be some irritation from bike riding. You can always just tell them "It's personal and I only want to discuss it with the doctor." If she keeps being asking, tell her it's a skin irritation. She doesn't need to know anything else just to make the appointment. You can write down the specifics on your paperwork when you go in.
