Notice Small Bumps on penis head
I noticed small bumps on the head of my penis after masturbating about a week ago.
After masturbation, I noticed there was blood. A minuscule amount. Stop bleeding after 2 wipes. I figured it was because I was too rough and didn't use any sort of lube. Also around that time, I was masturbating maybe twice a day. Shortly after this particular instance, I start to noticed my glands were red and raise a bit and inflamed. From a distance, it looked like a rash but up close I noticed tiny bumps.
As you can see from the photos the tip of the penis head starts off smooth and the texture starts to look bumpy as you go down and then smooth again. It seems the rough texture is concentrated in that specific region of the penis head. I would like to say I didn't notice it before but I hadn't looked at my penis that closely until I realized there was slight blood after I masturbated. I would also like to say I remember the penis head being smooth all the way around and don't think I had those bumps previously but at the same time I didn't examine my penis with as much scrutiny before so it may have been there previously without me noticing.
I initially thought I had balanitis because I am uncircumcised and the inflammation didn't seem to go down nor the redness and I also noticed the bumps. Also, I'm consistently in the gym so I figured the sweat would be an ideal environment for balanitis, yeast, thrush. I start using Lotrimin for jock itch. The redness has gone down and not as red as previously but I still notice the bumps. If I was to have sex or masturbate the inflammation would return but would go down. Although it's not as red as previously It's just that area always seems to be redder than the rest of the penis head. I wanted to know is this a cause for concern. I'm still using the Lotrimin cream as the directions state to use it for 2 weeks. If I pull my foreskin all the way back you can see that the area looks somewhat like a scar or an abrasion. From a distance now it seems as if the penis head is wrinkled in that region but if I pull back the foreskin and examine closer with the phone there are small bumps.
The bumps are painless as well as the head of the penis, I have no discharge, it does not itch. No pus. No boils or blisters, no pain when I urinate. Other than the appearance of the penis head I feel fine. I uploaded pictures as well. The pictures are from a very close angle. I attached multiple pics from various angles. I plan on scheduling an STD check sometime this week but wanted to know if there is anything particular I should check for? Is this normal? Is this a cause for concern? Is there anything I can use to help it go down? Should I use a different cream? Anything would help. Please see link to view photos
