not sure if this is an std..help needed!
OK, here my situation. i'm 17 years old and i've been dating my girlfriend for almost 4 months now. she is the only partner i've ever had. she has had two other partners before me. she recently got tested for STDs and the results came back completely clean. although she has been having trouble lately with bacterial infections, thats about it. she has no STDs as far as the test was concerned.
a while back i got scabies. i believed it was scabies and i went to the doctor, got the cream and it has seemed to go away. however, now i'm thinking it was actually just exzema. i now use cetaphil soap and mild deoderant and i'm doing fine.
however, when i first started seeing symptoms of the scabies OR exzema...i got these two red bumps on the shaft of my penis. i'd say about the middle of my shaft, favoring the top if anything. they're red and dome shaped. they would itch in the beginning but now i wouldn't know they were there if i didn't see them ever day. i don't see anything inside of them, no pus or anything like that. i haven't tried to pop them or anything, i want to see what it is before doing anything. i move my skin around and it really seems like its just a couple layers of skin that makes up the dome. just red or inflamed. nothing inside of them from what i can see.
they come and go, both of them. in the same exact spot, no less. i've only had unprotected sex with my girlfriend once. the rest i've used latex. we think i may be allergic to latex condoms and that may be what is causing this. we have sex often so unless we go without a condom there'd be no way to tell if its the latex or not. not lately, but back when this first started after sex with a condom i'd itch for a while. thats why i was pretty sure it was the latex.
any advice? thanks!

Hey, Sorry you havent got a reply... (But im here to help lol)
1st of all id like to say well done for using a condom (Apart from that 1 time)
Id recommend just poping along to your local GUM clinic, One to have a chat and secondly to get someone to look at you penis.
As you have been with your girlfriend for 4 months then i doubt an STD or STI is involved as they would have shown up on the test
You could be allergic to Latex condoms.... It is possible, Im sorry i cant really help you
My best advice is that pop into your local GUM clinic... I wouldnt worry about it being an STD etc but be on just be on the safe side
