Bumps On Penis, Not Painful Until Pressed. Could It Be Herpes?
I am just curious to what this may be. i have 4 small bumps on my penis. they're at the bottom of the shaft on top right under the pubic hair. they were hard and skin colored/red. they were not really hurting until i pressed on them. i am concerned about it being herpes. the other night i was kissing with a female and we got touchy but we never did have sex. she grabbed me once for only a few seconds and that was it. do you think i have herpes? i kind of scratched the head of them off while attempting to pop them.

hi bumps on the shaft of penis can be folliculities rather than herpes .as it is not painful and occured on hairy area it can be folliculities.it can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night,antibiotic twice daily and application of mupirocin ointment and avoidence of removal of hair repeatedly can cure the condition
