White pimple like on Head of Penis

Hello. I'm 23 and a sexually active male uncircumcised. Like a about 4 months ago I noticed these small red bumps on my head of my penis. I have had unprotected sex with my ex girlfriend who is clean btw. After a while the bumps became white. I would exam my penis every other day because I have no idea what it could be. I went to my dr. And told her about everything and without examing she told me it could just be a small urine infection. By the way these small bumps tingled a bit once in a while. Plus while I was there I asked her to give me a STD/HIV and test for anything possible. A week later I went back, the bumps faded away and of course I came out clean. Fastforward to 3 weeks ago and the bumps came about once again. I noticed however that this time there were more of these white bumps on the head and shaft of my penis. It does itch or burn but it does tingle. Am I over exaggerating over something normal? Could this possibly come about because my partner decided to use a flavored lube on my penis? if it is the lube could it an allergic reaction? Would it be okay to have protected sex with these white bumps and not have nothing happen to her? And finally how to prevent these bumps to keep reaccuring? Thank you and I greatly appreciate any help!

Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis,rash due to friction rub,folliculitis,cysts or molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug).

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 persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
