                                            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?

                                    1. What would cause the sudden onset? 
This popped up 2 days ago now.
2. The only thing that worries me is about 6 months ago i got a handjob. Could it be from that? What else can it be? I’m worried because I’ve never seen it before.
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.
