Question : I just recently saw penis bumps on the shaft of my penis. What could it be? The only thing i can think of is hpv.

I’m engaged. I’m faithful and we wear condoms still. Oral is without condoms.

In the last month:
1. Herpes skin swab of the area test negative For I and II.
2. Blood test for Hsv 2 negative
3. Blood test for syphyillis and hiv negative.
4. Urine test for stds and tric negative.

What would cause the sudden onset?
This popped up 2 days ago now.

The only thing that worries me is about 6 months ago i got a handjob for 60 seconds. What else can it be?

The discoloration has always been there. The highlighted area in red in the new photos looks like a scab or maybe a small bump. Can only see when stretching.
