Flesh Color Pimple Bumps
Hello Doctor,
Thank you for supplying such a great forum. Here goes my question…
Sept 1, 2009 – Unprotected intercourse, before we had intercourse both myself and female partner were tested with an 8 panel std blood test and all the tests came back negative.
Sept 15 – Noticed white flesh color bumps so go back in and have the 8 panel std blood test
Sept 20 – Results all come back negative; I have not noticed any discharge or lesions.
I still am having these flesh colored pimple bumps that come and go…
- Appear on the rim and slightly below the rim of penis
- When erect they are more visible because of the skin being tight.
- Often there is 2 -3 right next to each other
- They are quite small, so small that with out good lighting and being erect a dermatologist would have a really hard time seeing them, but me being more familiar with this area I definitely can see them when they appear.
Two questions
1. Any thoughts on what the flesh color pimple bumps might be?
2. Should I have a concern of passing this to another person?
Best,
P.S. During Sept I had been swimming in open water and at first thought it might have been from the water, but now into Nov the bumps persists.

Welcome to the STD forum. Congratulations on your approach to sexual safety. Although mutual STD testing is often recommended before couples start a new sexual relationship, it isn't often done.
Any genital skin condition that seems to come and go, or that can be seen only in special conditions (erect, good lighting required, etc) cannot be an STD. Almost certainly this has nothing at all to do with your new sexual partnership. If you have to look so closely, then probably nothing is abnormal at all.
See your primary care provider or a dermatologist. Despite your skepticism, if someone with that expertise sees nothing abnormal, then there is nothing abnormal. Feel free to add a follow-up comment to report the findings of a professional evaluation. Until then, I won't be able to say anything more. In the meantime, I would not worry about this at all and see no reason that you cannot safely continue your new sexual relationship.

Thanks a bunch for the reply. I will go ahead and wait a bit longer to see if any bumps get larger so they are more visible for the dermatologist. I will be sure to post any outcomes.
