Tiny red/skin colored bumps on penis rim/head. *HELP*PICS*

This problem that has been bothering me since jan of 09 and every eurologist, dermatologist and dr have told me its not  an std by any means, although i have never been tested. One said its papules, another said it was balanitis initially, and i went back and now he said it was contact dermatitis. I have checked out pictures of contact dermatitis and it doesnt really look similar.

I had unprotected sex in nov of 08 with someone i didnt know very well which is unlike me. Anyway, The blood vessels on the rim of the head of my penis have been  a discolored uneven red looking (11 oclock) mostly after ive become erect and even if im not, its still noticable red, but only the rim.  Or even when i wake up due to erections in my sleep its pretty red. It really gets my mind racing every day when i wake up due to this problem never going away, no matter what topical creams i have been given. Before i went to any eurologist i went to my primary doctor who told me i have balanitis/contact dermatitis due to having sex with someone with a yeast infection.

Every other dr told me its just my blood vessells and thats the way they are. But i still dont buy this as of late there are tiny red bumps not only on the rim but now on the head of my penis. Some are SLIGHTLY raised and some you cant really feel but you can definitely see them. They were never ever like this before this whole incident happend. The one and only thing that leads me to believe this is something signifigant is that there are white 'spots' or "dots" regarding the pigmentation of my skin towards and sort of around the opening of my eurethra. That is the only sign that leads me to believe there is something wrong with me or that its something different than "Contact Dermititis"

I was just curious as to what other skin conditions/problems may cause white patches of spots or dots around the eurertha/head. Theyre not raised, theyre part of the pigmentation of my skin it seems like. One dermatologist i went to told me it has to do with the vascular section of my penis, its normal somewhat and that he didnt know much about that. NONE of this was there before jan of 09, i had a normal healthy, regular looking penis, never got red along the rim, never had spots nothing..  I have a girlfriend since january of this year and we have had unprotected sex a bunch times, and she is fine, she hasnt had any problems etc. So i dont know what to think could be wrong? What could it be?  Ive been ASSURED this is no std, i just cant seem to rest easy. No matter what skin condition pictures ive googled in the last 2 years, nothing really looks like what i have WHAT could this be?

What could cause these spots/redness around the rim?

I have pictures that should definitely help.

To clarify, none of them have white in them, theyre all skin colored, just incase it looked that way due to the flash.
Please help

only about a hundred somethings it can be without being a std. you have no reason to think it's a std.

if you read our read before posting post on this forum which obviously you didn't, you'd know that we don't look at pictures.

you've been seen by multiple medical providers who all agree this isn't a std. why doubt it?
