Brief Answer:
sounds like yeast
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This sounds more like yeast than a bacterial infection. I suggest that you keep the penis clean and dry and use lamisil (terbenifine) cream twice a day. If you have not already been tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia you should also get those tests just to be sure that you do not have one of those infections.
Red bumps with white areas that wipe away are usually yeast. Yeast tends to grow in damp environments so keeping the area dry once it is cleared up will be important.
I hope it clears up soon,
