Line of skin colored bumps on penile foreskin

Good evening,

   A few weeks ago, I irritated my penis while masturbating. I noticed afterwards that the foreskin had become flaky and red. I washed the area and applied lotion but after a few days, a small hortizontal line of skin colored bumps, right underneath the topside of the head of my penis, appeared. I am uncircumsized.

   I am very nervous. I am not showing any symptoms for any STDs, the area isn’t painful nor is it itchy. I have been in a relationship for the last year and a half and have had both unprotected and protected sex. But I never developed any symptoms or problems in regards to STDs, as my girlfriend is clean.

   It’s been a few weeks now and the line of very tiny, skin colored bumps hasn’t gone away. Is it because the skin tissue is damaged? I don’t know. But if anyone could help me I would highly appreciate it.

It sounds more like you just irritated your skin, but I'd just go to a doctor to get checked out in order to put your mind at ease.  If you have had unprotected sex, you should get tested for STD's just as routine for your health- but I don't think that is what is happening.  It's always best to get a doctor to look at it for a more accurate diagnosis.

I went to the doctor this morning and he took a look at it and for the most part, confirmed that it wasn’t an STD. Though he also said that one bump was a bit suspicious, he prescribed me a skin ointment as it just looked like a bad case of skin irritantion. Thank you
Glad to hear that you were able to make it to a doctor- I do hope the cream helps- feel better soon!
