Bumps on head of penis

[Tyrone Biggums]

About a month ago I had unprotected sex with a girl but for less than two seconds. (no ejaculation) Within a week there was a little scab thing on the underside of my penis but it quickly went away.  There started to be slight shedding on certain parts of the head of my penis which made me think herpes. Then all this began turning into the smallest bumps in a diagonal line accross the top of the head. Then on the underside of my penis right below the ridge I began developing bumps but different from the previous ones. Finally, recently on the left and right side under the ridge there is a line of little bumps. Is this a clear case of HPV? And if not what could it be?

Your symptoms don't sound like HPV, herpes, or any other STD, and clearly your risk is low from the exposure you describe.  I'm not sure what you mean by "shedding"--maybe flaky skin?  But of course I can't be certain about anything from a verbal description;  you should see a health care provider, perhaps your local health department STD clinic.

Good luck--  HHH, MD

and by the way the shedding and certain bumps i was freaking out about dissappeared. not the line of bumps on the head and under the ridgs...

The additional information doesn't change my opinion or advice.

i have similar symptoms, however im not exactly what is sure by the bumps being in a line? there are bumps on the head, and i did experience some dry skin and the skin flaked off. I didnt notice any of these symptoms until roughly 3 months after the first time of unprotected exposure to a girl who i am in a long term relationship with. The bumps went down a lot with 1% hydrocortisone which i used for a week and a half, however they started to come back after i stopped using it. It could be anxiety which is making it persist, however I wasnt worried at all prior to the first symptoms i had. what should i do? im extremely worried now, my girlfriend said she was tested for everything, even had a pap smear done after her last relationship and all came back negative, how is it even possible for me to have something and have it persist for a month and a half and not go away on its own? please help
