*Need Urgent Help* red bumps on penis

Hi there I've got a huge problem within the past two weeks i got a red bump on my penis and within the last few days another has appeared.  they are not itchy or irritating wat so ever, but seriously a nusiance.  I've gone to two doctors both say they have no clue what it is but do not believe it is and STD.  I've gotten referred to a dermatologist, but am looking at a 2 month wait time so i was hoping I could maybe get some help from this forum.  Te weird thing is i've gotten similar bumps on other parts of my body too that do feel itchy.  I've tried cortizone cream along with a few pills that didn't do anything for me. Some extra info about me I last had sex 2 months ago, I stay very clean and really have never seen this before.  Please help I'm with a new girl that i'd like to get intimate with but am afraid wat she'll say or think if she sees these red marks...PS I have pics of it but im not sure if I'm allowed to post pics of my penis on the forum  so ya.

Thanks in Advance,

Garrett

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be folliculitis,cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug), scabies( very itchy and contagious)  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.
