Slightly raised red/white spots on penis

Slightly raised red/white spots on penis

On sunday, I had sex with a girl and the condom broke enough to give me full exposure, after talking with her, she tells me on thursday that she is at the clinic to have something looked at.  She says that her symptoms are similar to a UTI where she has discomfort and quite a bit of discharge.  She also mentioned that there are 2 white raised bumps, one at the bottom of the vagina and another one slightly inside the vagina, she says that they both cause her great discomfort.  She claims to have been tested and clean, but i would not have worried about this if she didnt tell me she was at the clinic for those symptoms.  

On thursday, i did noticed a small red spot on the head of my penis but didnt think much of it because i felt no symptoms, but after hearing what she told me, it made me worry and i went into the clinic to get it tested and blood work.  While im waiting for my results i would like to know what it may possibly be.  The doctor looked at it and found 3 small 1-2mm in size red spots in a row along one side of my penis starting at the bell.  They are slightly raised and the next morning (friday) one had a white spot on it (spot on bell) but was gone a couple hours after i looked at it.  The doctor said it doesnt seem to be anything serious but after hearing what the girl told me and having to wait for my results, i would like to know some possibilities.  Her doctor said that her symptoms are similar to those of herpes, but for me, other then the slight red spot and the one white spot that disappeared, i would have never noticed or worried about it.  

My 2 questions are, what could she have contracted and what might i have contracted, if anything?  Is it possible that she may have herpes or something similar and i have nothing because i am not feeling any symptoms other then the slight red/white spot

Any kind of advice would help, the doctor both gave us some antibiotics to start with.

Hello,
From her symptoms the possibility of herpes is important and from your symptoms, the possibility of folliculitis is important. Other possibilities are cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).

Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

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.
