You can't get an STD from masturbating.  No way, no how.  Masturbating is also NOT bad for your health!  
Best wishes,

If you've never had sex, you can't have an std.

I don't know where the bumps are, but google pearly papules and fordyce spots.  Those are totally normal, and it might be what you have.

I'm not sure you understand.  You haven't had sex, so you don't have an std/sti.  Its just not possible.

By all means, get them checked by a doctor if they are bothering you, but it isn't an std.

There are other things they could be but its not an std.

See your doctor.

You won't get an std by masturbating.  You only get them by having sex with someone else.

Based on what I've read, it may not be the best idea to masterbate with soap or shampoo becuase they could get into the end of your penis and cause irritaiton.  Irritaition is possible, STD IMPOSSIBLE from this.  

Religious folk and those just opposed to masterbation try to scare others away from it. From a health standpoint, masterbating is completely fine as long as it doens't interfere with your involvement from the outside world.  Even then, it's not an std issue, but phychological thing.

I hope this helps, saah.

You need to let it go.  Honestly, you're driving yourself crazy with an issue which is not an issue.  You can't infect yourself with an std.  When you are masterbating, you are with yourself, therefore, no std possible.  First of all, understand that you are fine.  Then you need to find diversions- hobbies (other than masterbating!) like movies, reading, chat with friends, hang out with friends, hanging out with pets can be very helpful too.  Good luck, Saah.

Frightened gave you some great advice, especially about what to use or not to use during masturbation.

Remember that masturbation can not cause an std.

Are they always red or are they red following ejaculation?

If they are always red, it might be a sign of a fungal infection, like jock itch, and you should see your doctor.

You really need to see a doctor.  You might have a fungal infection, which has nothing to do with sex or masturbation.  I bet your dad has had one before.

A fungal infection is something that just happens, and its sometimes called jock itch.

its not serious, it won't have any long term effects, etc.
