spot

hi im and 18 year old male and have been in a steady relationship with my girlfriend for 7 months. About 4 months ago i started to get a red bump on the head of my penis, and my thighs, arms, back and butt became very itchy. the bump went aways after about 3-4 weeks of my picking at it, it would scab over and i just would pick the scab off and it would bleed. the bump would go away then another would appear in a different spot (still on the head of the penis). now i also have tiny bumps inbetween my fingers, toes, and on my arms, and some other random spots. i dont know what this is, and im scared it could be and std. the bump on the penis doesnt itchy at all, in fact i cant even tell its there, it is just an embarsing spot that lowers my confidence. Do you think it could have anything to do with my girlfriends birth conrol medicine because these bumps started about the time she got on it.
pleases help me with some kind of answer.

I'd suggest going to an STI clinic, if it is genital warts its better to get it sorted soon otherwise you risk passing it on to your girlfriend, plus they should be able to stop you worrying what it is!

dont worry about it though! An STI/STD test is the best thing and they dont hurt as much as you think!!!!

when your girlfriend started on the pill was that when you started sex without a condom or was it before that?

Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis,rash due to friction rub,folliculitis,cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).

Apply warm compresses,Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it.You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.If the lumps persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
