What Do Red Bumps On Glans Penis Indicate?
Question: Went on a business trip to UK and met with an escort over 12 days ago. Light kissing on my genitals for about 2 minutes, protected oral sex and protected intercourse for about 5 minutes. After everything was said and done, condom was intact and no tear was found.
Fast forward to today, I have some little reddish bumps / tiny cluster of 2 to 3 bumps on glans penis. It doesn't hurt and there's no discomfort (I think one looks like a blister) but I was what it could be? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Brief Answer:
Seems to be Herpes lesion.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.
You had protected oral and vaginal exposure.
So the chance of HIV/STD is negligible or almost nil. HIV/ STD transmission through kissing the genitals is a remote possibility.
But the possibility of a HSV 1 infection (usually a not a STD) from the mouth to genitals can not be ruled out. HSV 1 can cause genital lesion through oral sex.
Your lesions over your glans (head) penis appears to be a HSV infection (Herpes).
Nothing to worry. It is not a life threatening infection. Consult your doctor. He/she will help you in this regard with appropriate treatment.
