So I've had a problem where 3-5 small red bumps show up on my penis.They're always about 1cm wide, red and smooth and shiny. They show up in random places, but always on the head of my penis. After about a week, they go away. They've been coming and going for a few months now.I had an STD test around the time of the first outbreak, and it was negative, but I'm still not confident about this. I posted a photo I took here:http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/4258/hedtt4.jpgThey don't itch. They don't hurt. They never show up on any other part of my penis or anywhere else on my body. I suspect they're related to soap irritation or something, but I'd love to get someone's opinion on this.Thank you.

Small Red Bumps On Head Of Penis

Welcome to A2A, alvinchipmunk666. Imageshack has taken your picture down, I'm afraid.We've had other people reporting small shiny red bumps on the penis head, and no suggestions (that I can remember) what it might be.

First, welcome Alvin.The only thing I could think of that it could be is genital warts, but those are all over, if I'm not mistaken. Your image was not helpful, since it is considered as porn on ImageShack and they have that big "No Porn Uploading" thing. So don't take my word until you have another say the same.Best wishes on finding out what it is!!

Thanks for the quick reply.
As I said, I'm not that worried about it since I've been tested, I'm just trying to find the cause of it so maybe I can stop it. My doctor hasn't been that helpful, and I haven't seen bumps quite like this in any other thread I've read.
I tried another hosting site, if a photo helps, but if no one has any suggestions, I can just live with it!

it's NOT genital warts!!!Have you tried treatments for yeast infections or other fungal infections?
-
I tried hydrocortisone the most recent outbreak and it didn't seem to help, but I only applied it once.
Do you suggest I try something else, or try the hydrocortisone on a more regular schedule?
-
Hydrocortisone does nothing to treat fungus infections.There are other cremes for fungal infections. Look up Balanitis.

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll give it a shot and try to update the post with how it went!
