What Causes Red Bump On Shaft Of Penis?

Hello Doctors, so this past year I had one (1) random fling in late June but we only had unprotected oral sex and 2 recurring sexual partners which we did not use protection, because we knew somewhat about each other and they had a pretty monogamous past. The first of the two started getting sexual around mid-July and the second one started getting sexual around mid-October. I ve been to Planned Parenthood twice this year for the usual STD/STI examination for HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and they all came back negative. I waited at least 6 weeks after my last physical experience with the last woman to get tested before my new partner and I began our relationship. My second visit to Planned Parenthood was due to noticing some red bumps on the Glans penis area. I was afraid it was something more, especially after self diagnosing and driving myself crazy, or I figured it was probably a yeast infection (since I m uncircumcised and I wasn t washing myself very well) or blood vessels bursting due to sexual intercourse numerous times out of the day but the FNP said that it looked like a possible yeast infection or maybe even an allergic reaction to my partners Copper IUD? After applying some anti fungal cream (i believe it was terconazole?) the red bumps pretty much went away. We stopped seeing each other and its been about 2 weeks since I last saw her. However, now I noticed a red bump under my shaft? It doesn t hurt, I have no pain or burning when I urinate (less of course if I haven t been drinking enough water), I have no discharge or pus, doesn t look like a blister or any noticeable symptoms of anything to really worry me until I saw this thing! I thought it might just be a hair follicle or something? I did take a picture of it. I m trying not to worry but obviously its scaring me. Please help! Where do I go from here? Thank you in advance!

hii.welcome to healthcare magic.you are having folliculitis.my opinion is that,
1.dont squeeze the lesion.
2.apply antibiotic cream like fusiderm ointment twice daily on the lesion for 5 days.
3.take analgesics like tablet ibuprofen twice daily for 5 days, if it pains.
4.take tablet levocetrizine twice daily for 5 days, if it itches.
5.maintain good hygiene around the area.
hope my answer would have helped you.
