Hello,

Sharp pain in the penis shaft with small red lumps commonly occurs due to balanitis caused by poor hygiene or an infection in uncircumcised.

It goes away on its own, take care of your hygiene, you can apply a thin layer of steroid cream or antifungal cream in the area affected.

If it is recurrent, you may need to remove the foreskin (circumcision) by a surgeon. Since you are changing relationships it could be due to STI, similar symptoms are seen in genital herpes or warts.

Get STD tests done (both partner). If reports are positive you will need an oral course of antibiotic or antiviral. get treated at the earliest. Always perform safe sex.

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
