What Causes Painful Lumps In The Penis Shaft?

Hello, I have a question regarding strange bumps near my genital area (I am a 21 year old male). First off, I haven t had sexual intercourse for about 2 and a half years, mainly because I m not sure what this is. I have also only had 1 sexual partner in my life, and have always used a condom (she told me she was checked before we did anything, and was clean). Here is a summary of what is happening - about 2 years ago I noticed small little raised skin coloured bumps along the base of my penis. They lasted a few months and have been gone ever since - ever since, and to this day, I have had 1-4 (varies) smallish reddish bumps right underneath my scrotum area where the skin connect to the thigh. - they are sometimes painful, and sometimes aren t - it also feels like there is a larger bump underneath the skin that doesn t show I have not seen my doctor about this yet, but I plan to. Another question: My father is a doctor and runs his own clinic, and my family doctor works with him. Can I expect complete confidentiality if I see my doctor and (possibly if needed) receive any antibiotic for this (if it s anything) without my dad knowing? Please don t recommend I talk to my dad about it, I don t want him knowing anything. It s not an option. Thank you very much for your help
