What Could Cause A Unclustered Pimple Like Bumps On Underside Of Penis Shaft?

I have two small, unclustered pimple-like bumps on underside of my penis shaft -- one fairly close to close to base of shaft, the other about a half-inch away from the first bump. The bumps have a white lymphy center. I first noticed them after having vaginal intercourse with a woman with a condom. The woman has no known STD history. The bumps are not painful, but can be itchy. At first, I thought I could pop them, but only a very small amount of clear fluid came out, and lympy centers remained. I've had these for about 10 days, and they haven't gone away yet (although I have continued masturbated during those 10 days). The bumps have not crusted, even after squeezing them. I have not gotten flu-like symptoms since developing the bumps, although I did have a moderate head cold for a few days during the period. No painful urination. NOTE: I have recently had bad bouts of follucilits afer shaving in the groin area, and developed bad boils in the pelvic area. (I've been seeing a dermo about them.) I had also shaved the penis shaft before sex, but had not gotten boils in this particular area, I'm thinking the bumps could be lymphoceles caused by the condom-ring friction, or very small folliculitis boils. But does this sound like herpes?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Two bumps with whitish center on the shaft of the penis are most likely to be Sebaceous cysts .

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment(If required ).

Take antibiotics like Doxicycline along with anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily .

If they do not subside within a week you may need to get them excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac) .
