What Are The White Bumps On My Penis After Using Hydrogen Peroxide?

I put 3% hydrogen peroxide on a q tip and dabbed it on my penis shaft and I noticed small white looking bumps appeared and then it went away so I dabbed more Hyd Peroxide on it and they appeared and after a couple seconds went away. What could it be?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Do not use hydrogen peroxide there

Explanation: Hydrogen peroxide in high dilution is used to remove slough of wounds which are infected. And it is not used on penis at all. So, please stop using it, it caused white area due to sloughing.
Use only water to wash your penis. No chemicals needed. If not mild soap can be used.
