which STDs can cause tiny red bumps on the tip of the penis?

[RNM]

I've been tested repeatedly because I've had painful urination. Everything always came back negative until recently (got diagnosed w/ a urinary tract infection).

I was concerned I also had something viral like HSV but my blood tests and urethral cultures were negative for this (note: I'm still concerned I may have gotten a false negative on this). I had flu like symptoms and some tiny red spots on my penis approx 8 days after getting oral from a new girl.

Assuming an STD is causing my UT infection (maybe chlamydia), what can be causing tiny painless bumps on the head of my penis, as well as abnormally-wrinkled skin on the tip ?

AJ,  I've recently been re-tested for strep in my urine and it was negative. Symptoms have gotten better but haven't gone away completely. I'm waiting to go back and see my Dr. again... in the meantime, I took some photos showing the external symptoms I've mentioned. Is it possible to post them here or PM them to you?

No, but fungal infections could.

Have you followed up with your doc about this?

AJ:  from your experience, is it possible for any kind of bacterial infection to cause tiny red spots/bumps on the head of the penis?

They have come down a bit from their worst point but have never gone away entirely since they popped up in late January.

They look like tiny red pin-sized spots, but become slightly raised when I have an erection.... they also look shiny and pink when erect (sounds weird I know)

I don't know.  If you think its herpes, then test.  I don't think you'll rest until you do.

But I can't help you with the strep.  Have you posted that for the docs?

.... now on my 3rd antibiotic, symptoms still persist... I'm guessing I'm going to test positive when I retest for strep. Any thoughts on what this means? why is it not going away.... and what complications can it have?

I'm still not 100% convinced that all my symptoms are caused by strep... e.g. minor rashes on my thighs, bumps on the head of my penis that have never gone away since they popped up approx Jan. 26

I would say that it means that strep would trigger a herpes outbreak.  I have no idea why that's listed there, and I don't know if they got that from the book source, or if that was cited as a source for that opening paragraph under complications.

In any case, I wouldn't worry about it.  Wiki is a good source, but it sometimes is wrong.
