Suggest Treatment For Red Bumps On Penis Along With Slight Itching
Question: Hello i recently a few days ago noticed 2 small raised red bumbs on my penis shaft. They are small and a little ichy every now and then. They almost resemble a bug bite. It never had a head meaning it diddint look like an acne pimple so no point in squeezing it. Just 2 small solid red bumps. i But one that wont go away. Im sexually active with my girlfreind that ive been with for 2 years. I have no other bumps and no discomfort in peeing. Could this be an std?

I am 25 years old. The condition has remained the same. Today marks the 5th day . It has not yet gone down in size or color. Its barely noticeable and they both have a light dry scab over both when i pass my fingers over them.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again and thanks for the details
Since it has started acutely and it's been persistent in its size and color, though there is no clear cut remark from your side related to unprotected sex, so it could be an infective condition.
You can wait for 1 or 2 more days with continue applying antiseptic ointment and keeping it clean
If it doesn't subside in a day or two than you need to consult a dermatologist or veneral disease specialist for physical examination and course of antibiotics under supervision
Hope this answers your question
