I would get this checked soon.  It could be herpes.  It could also be an allergic reaction to something, but I wouldn't want to take any chances, and miss an accurate diagnosis.

Culturing for herpes is very time sensitive, so you should get checked soon.  If they do a culture, make them type it.  You can easily have type 1 or 2 genitally.

if i get some doctor help before it spreads...can i stop it...is there more symptoms to this...also i got oral sex as well...but there are no red sores ON my penis...just the pubic area...she was shaved...and i thought the friction caused this...there is no burning or itching...i popped some red sores and put some peroxide on it...it helped a little

It might be friction, but why not just get it checked?

And don't use hydrogen peroxide on anything, especially your genitals.  Even hospitals have stopped using it because it kills too much of the good stuff off, leaving you open for other bacterial or fungal infections.

stop popping your bumps. if you touch the bumps, wash your hands. go to the doctor and get checked. if appropriate, ask your partner if she has had similar symptoms or if she has herpes.
