Suggest Treatment For Tiny Bumps At The Shaft Of Penis
About a month ago i had unprotected sex with a girl iv been with for a while. she was on her period during our sex session. I started to see tiny bumps on the shaft of my penis after we had sex. They are in the same spot and are taking a while to dissapear.. Whats the best way to get rid of them.. Many doctors are saying mentural blood dose not cause irritation but they are WRONG.. This has happened to me before but they went away as i maintained my hygene, this is how i know.. My question is what the best way to make the bumps dissapear.. Iv been tested, im clean, i dont experience burning, rashes, or any swelling near the sensitive part of my penise.. Just the shaft.. Mabey infected hair follicles??????

Hello,
You are having bumps at the penis shaft after you had sex with your partner while she was menstruating. Menstrual blood is composed of old parts of uterine tissue, cells from the mucus lining of the vagina and bacteria making up the vaginal flora & blood. Older blood can cause irritation or allergic reaction causing bumps if penetrative unprotected sex is done.
You are suggested to take care of your hygiene, abstain from sex or any sexual activity for a couple of days, let the bumps heal. You can apply ointment acyclovir on the affected area. Take non sedating antihistamines for 3-5 days to reduce allergic reaction. It should go away.
Doing sex without protection during periods is the risk of getting sexually transmitted infection (STI) like HIV or hepatitis. These viruses live in blood, and can spread through contact with infected menstrual blood. Always wear condom to stay protected from STIs. Presently, you are suggested to get clinically examined by a Urologist. Get STD tests done. If positive you will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals. Avoid multiple partners.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
