I've had red bumps on my penis for almost a year. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I've had a bunch of small red bumps on the upper shaft just below the head for almost a year now. I've been tested and had doctors look at this 4-5 times. One doctor thought it was a yeast infection but it never went away. Two others said It looks like nothing is wrong and plenty of men have this. Plenty of men have red bumps on their penis???!! I don't know what else to do. I've also had two seperate blood and urine tests to check this. It's very confusing because my penis never used to look like this. The tests all came back negative and I get anxiety after I have sex with a condom. This is not healthy. PLEASE GIVE ME INPUT, Thanks.

Hello,
These can be Fordyce spots. They are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
