Red bump on each side of Penis.

Hello,

   I went to a urologist a few days ago and got check out, but I feel like I need a second opinion on this problem.
I have what is called a puss jew they called it on my ball sack filled with puss they didn't think it was anything serious at all and put me on Clindamycin HCL to get rid of it. The Urologist also look at my penis seen what appears to be one red bump on each side of my penis. My question is these red bumps that are adjacent from each other on each side of my penis they are hardly noticeable until I masturbate. Once I masturbate they are huge and it seems to have little bits of skin peeling off of them. I know it did first start out as being nothing there and then getting really itchy. They kind of look like a bug bite in a way and I can't exactly explain it. I have been getting ate up by bugs lately like crazy all up and down my legs and on my back at night. I am wanting a second opinion on what those two red bumps could be if anything serious.

Hello,
This red bump can be a small sebaceous cyst and if it is itchy then the possibility of scabies is important to be ruled out. Scabies produces small red bumps and blisters and affects specific areas of the body. Scabies may involve the webs between the fingers, the wrists or other folds of body.

I feel that you should get it evaluated from a dermatologist. The fluid exuding from the blisters can be sent for examination to find out the confirmatory diagnosis.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

If I were you, I'd go to see a different doctor to get a second opinion. My first thought too was herpes, however that usually causes pain as well. You do not complain about it.

The fact that it is effecting your arms, knuckles and legs indicate that something is wrong. Had it only been on your genitals and upper legs, I would believe that it might be pubic lice.

Without a doctor looking at it and making a right diagnosis, we can only guess at things while things continue to get worse.

Do yourself a favor and see the doctor again or get a second opinion.

All the best,

Ron

I don't have any back pain or leg pain. There was a urine test done at the Urologist on the day I went. However these red bumps got worse as soon as I started taking that medicine. I keep getting more itchy on my hands at my knuckles on my arms and on my legs to there are times I wake up with bug bites on me

Your doctor din't ask for any STD tests, especially HSV-2 for Genital Herpes?
Not to scare you - Your picture and your leg and back pains are typical symptoms of Genital Herpes.  

Why don't you repeat your post in the STD forum?  Grace and others in the STD forum should be able to help you better.
