What Can Cause Red Bumps Near Glans?
i was just diagnosed with folliculitis on my genital area. But i also noticed 2 small red bumps near the glans where there is no hair follicle, and now i have a slight discomfort when urinating. I am in a monogamous relationship and do not suspect an STD. Can this be something else?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Lumps around the glans penis an coronal sulcus are due to infection of glans (Ballanitis) and are usually due to allergic reaction to vaginal secretion of a female partner which is acidic in nature .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ask your female partner to take same antibiotics for a week.
