Dear XXXX
The bumps are papules are likely to be inspissated secretion due to sweating . They are likely to be normal. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination . I would suggest you to send me clinical photograph for further assessment. I would also require following additional information
1. Details of sexual encounter
2. Are you experiencing any other local symptoms like Urinary complaints, discharge
Awaiting your response
Take Care

Hi
Dear Sir
Thanks for providing the clinical picture. It is definitely not any STD. It is normal occurrence. These papules are seen in 40 % of normal individuals and are prominent hair follicles with inspissated sebum. There is absolutely no need to be worried about.
Rest be assured.
Wishing you great health.
