And what drug should I use to treat it?
Brief Answer:
Clear photos pl and details as asked for
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted that you have already been seen by a Doctor and he has given you the cream.
Also noted that you have three pimple like bumps on the shaft of penis and want to know the cause and you have not had sex for 1 year and 8 months hence not likely to be STD.
Also want to know the drug to be used.
For this I will need some details and very clear photographs of the bumps to do a possible on-the-spot diagnosis:
Since when have you got these bumps?
What is the size of the bumps, color of skin above them?
Is there a central depression - umbilicated appearance with a small white dot under it?
- Any itching or any other symptoms?
Awaiting for yours.

It doesn't itch. Small white dot?..kinda. It's the same colour with my skin. I've had the bumps for like 3-4months now..ive sent the picture you requested for.

Proper ablation or needling? That sounds scary. I was hoping drugs could work. The doctor who administered the cream for me said when asked on when it would heal off that it would go whenever it wants to all my itself. That he can't give you time frame on it. I really hate the sight of it.
Brief Answer:
See a Dermatologist please.
Detailed Answer:
Nothing to be scared of.
No, there are no medicines for such a condition.
Since this is on penis, you need a precise treatment, and I hope you would agree with me on this point.
And hence the necessity of proper treatment.
