Hello
Thanks for query .
Red bumps on glans penis are most likely to be due to infection of Glans penis (Ballanitis) .
He needs to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure he washes his genitals with warm water twice daily
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
