Hi and welcome to HCM.Thank you for your querry.
It sounds like bacterial skin infection mostly caused by foliculits . But some other disease should be ruled out such as allergy ,irriattion or STD. STD can be found on this area but it would be associated with urinating pain and penis gland lesions. I suggest not tomanipulate these bumps,just wait till it heals spontaneously or have some antibacetrial creams for it . If this persist you should do STD testing.WIsh you good health.
