Regarding lesions on penis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

I can see few red bumps on glans and shaft. Doesn't seem like cancer or herpes

I would like to know since how long do you have these red bumps on glans? do you have any symptoms like itching?

Hope to assist you further with your query. Take care.

Brief Answer:
Bowenoid papulosis is a possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Most likely it is bowenoid papulosis. I would suggest a skin biopsy from one of the lesions to confirm the diagnosis. It is caused by HPV infection. The lesions of bowenoid papulosis can be treated with either laser or electrodessication. Recurrence is common and need to be looked for and treated similarly.
Take care
