Probably an ingrown hair, put a warm or hot as you can stand, washrag soaked in water on it. It will pop on its own. No, I doubt its HIV, but if it makes you feel better, tell your folks to take you to the dr, or go see the school nurse. You'll be fine

HIV has no symptoms. It could be anything, but definitely needs medical attention. Sounds like an infection of some sort. It could be something minor, like an infected hair folicle. Or something more serious like a staph infection.
I'll keep my mouth shut about not being ready for sex at 16, but until you know what it is, refrain from sexual activity. You don't want possibly infect someone else if you don't know what you've got.
Just go see a doctor and find otu for sure what it is.

It may just be an ingrown hair, but it may be something mroe serious. Make an appointment with your doc and while you're there, get info on birth control and STDs to protect youself the best you can. If oyu're gonna "do it," I woul dat least want you to do it so you would not make babies and would not catch or spread disease. Be safe!

I think it just only a pimples because it happen somtimes especially summer the heat, but to be sure visit your doctor, used always condom if you are not sure to the woman

OMG
Listen, you have lymph glands next to those areas, I am betting either you have herniated something or you have gotten infections but ANY kind of infections can swell up your lymph glands, so my darling...active teenager boy...GO TO A DOCTOR. Get a professional opinion please and get tested. Ignorance will kill you. Trust me.-Rachel.

they might be swollen lymph nodes. i think this is an issue that you should see a doctor for though! if you do have an STD, you will want to know sooner rather than later. get tested!
