What Is The Treatment For Small Bumps On The Penis?
Hello, I am a 30 year old male. After having sex with my girlfriend sometimes I notice red pin prick bumps on the tip of my penis. The bumps are palpable, and feel raw to the touch. Sometimes it is followed by burning and itching sensations. Other times, it starts with itching and burning and then I will have sex with my gf and the bumps with appear. They are painful and irritating. I am uncircumcised so it is difficult to let the area dry. Any ideas?

Hi,
It can be due to balanitis - may be your partner is having a fungal infection or high vaginal PH or if you have low immunity (check for blood sugar). Local anti-fungal application for both the partner can help you, absence of sex for a week during treatment can prevent cross infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
