Are small bumps in a straight line considered to be an STD?

Answer by  Charlotte32 (214)

The rashes caused by STDs tend to occur in random patterns. Bumps in a straight line might be caused by skin irritation from soap or detergents, or from ingrown hairs left after waxing or shaving. Ask your partner if he/she has similar bumps, and visit your doctor if the bumps do not go away on their own.

They might be, I am assuming that this is in the genital region and if it is at the waistband or panty-line it could be crabs or just chiggers from sitting outside. Be careful not to scratch it could irritate the area even more. See your docter and do not worry it should be easily treatable.

Many different conditions can cause bumps on the skin. Irritation from shaving or heat rashes can cause small bumps. If the bumps go away in a couple of days and you have no other symptoms, this is probably what's causing the bumps. However, some STDs do cause bumps. If you have any other symptoms, contact a doctor.

It is possible that small bumps are an STD, but it might just be skin irritation or common warts as well. Go to a doctor to make sure.

It could be. It could also be a number of other things. If you are concerned that you might have been exposed to an STD, or if you have a skin condition that is painful or irritating and unusual, you should see a doctor right away.
