What Are The Red Bumps On The Penis Head With Swelling?

I have swelling around my penis underneath the tip. it is all the way around my penis and protrudes almost as far as the head. it is like a ring around it right underneath the head. I am circumcised and was sexually active about two months ago. I have been masturbating more than regularly so that could be what caused it but i am still concerned on what exactly it is. Also, i heave 3 red bumps on the shaft of my penis that itch. And had 5 or 6 seemingly different bumps on the head of my penis that did not itch. They are still noticeable on my penis head but have gone down in the past 2 weeks.
