I am a 17 year old male and I had unprotected sex while I was unde the influence. About a week and a half later I have these little red bumps all over the head of my penis....I have yet to see a doctor and I am looking all over the internet for answers. Can someone please help me?

I also had some little red bumps on the head of my penis. I had my doctor examine them today. He said they were viral, name was something with a C I can't recall the name. Anyway he said that I probably got it when I had unprotected sex with my most recent girlfriend. He prescribed an over counter cream to help clear up the area it is Hydrocotisone 1%. He said it should clear up in a few weeks. How ever I forgot to ask if I run the risk of having a chance of another outbreak occurring at a later date. So that is basically my question. If this cream works as it is supposed to do I run a risk of another out break down the road even if I wear protection (which I will from now on)?

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  Fordyce spots which are normally found on the penis. 

Apply warm compresses, Neasporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
