I Got Raised Circular Bumps On Head Of Penis.What Could Be It Is?
Hey so i am a 25 year old male, who has been having unprotected sex with the same girl since age 16. I recently got back from a trip to cuba and saw a 2 - 3 raised circular bumps on my glans/penis head about 2-4 mm in diameter. It s not itchy, there is no discharge, no blood nothing at all. My girlfriend and i have both had checkups in the past year and have recieved clean bills of health. My girlfriend shows no symptoms. I always never wear underwear when wearing pants or shorts, but i still seem to sweat a lot in my groin area. I masterbate about 1 or 2 times a day. I m 5 9 200lbs but i lift weights daily and cycle 7 kms every other day. neither my gf or i have had sexual relations with other people.

Hai,
Your problem may be due to furuncles a minor skin infection or may be due to Genital Herpes infection. If it is due to Herpes lesions, your partner is also likely to have the same then and there (Recurrence). But in women these lesions if occur intra-vaginally as happened many a time it may not be visible outside and even herself might not have noticed or felt. Only by vaginal examination one can confirm. STDs are more often asymptomatic in women. So both of you get checked with your physician and get well soon. Dr SM
