What Causes Painful Red Bumps On The Penis?

7 days ago I had light red bumps and soreness occur under the head of my penis. the bumps are sore but don t itch, and no pus or blood is coming out of the sores. I am 34 years of age and have had 3 sexual partners in my life. I have tried putting a steroid cream to treat everyday with no change, I read somewhere that it may be fungal and the recommendation was hydrocortisone cream this hasn t helped. Just today I started putting Bacitracin on the area in hopes that it may be an infection. I remember that I had a close call with a razor while shaving a day or two before the bumps occurred. While grooming I may have cut my penis with a blade while but I brushed it off because I didn t see a mark or bleeding. I have attached pictures in hopes to find an answer.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful. Is it fluid filled rashes?
You can apply creams containing antifungal agents like miconazole and corticosteroids like flucinolone for local application. But if it is fluid filled rash and there is burning sensation then it can be due to herpes and in such case acyclovir cream for local application will be helpful.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
