Could Tiny Red Bumps On Head Of Penis Be Rawness From Friction?

Hi. I m noticing some tiny red bumps on the head of my penis and am a little concerned. There is no discomfort or itching whatsoever, nor any foul odor or residue that would suggest thrush... I m sexually active with my girlfriend who is 100% clean. We haven t had sex in close to a week, and the dots seem to be slowly clearing up, but I m still worried. Could this be chaffing or just rawness from friction, or is it a sign of some sort of infection?

HI
Well come to HCM
Such lesion on penis may be due to friction and this would come around on its own even without any treatment and medication, just try to keep the area clean, avoid intercourse for some time, no need to worry about this, take care.
