What Causes Red Bumps On Penis Shaft After Having Unsafe Sex?

Hi my name is nix, I noticed couple small red bumps 3 days after my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex (that in mind my girlfriend and I before we started our relationship we both went to the local sex clinic and got checked and we were negative in everything, I also have had multiple tests in the past to see if I have any STD/STI but I have always been negative). After her I was masterbating quite a lot, the more I masterbated the more visible and irritated, itchy it felt. Right after it I felt uncomfortable so I went to the doctors and the doctor says it could be herpes followed by it could be friction it could be fungal very odd to know that that s the 1st thing he said without even examining me. The doctor at the local clinic prescribed me flusidic acid cream 2% and to apply twice a day. My concern is.. What are these red bumps on the side of my penis shaft in the middle, how come it s itchy for just a period and it s not fluid like nor I have any other std like symptoms, no discharge no pain. It almost looks like just a skin rash to be honest. But I am more worried now since the doctor at the clinic said it could be herpes .

Hi,

STD panel test should be repeated to exclude any STDs. Herpes will be presented as fluid filled type of rash. Allergic or fungal rash can be the most likely cause. Applying ointments containing antifungal agents like Miconazole and Corticosteroids like Flucinolone for local application will be helpful. Avoid using soaps and irritants to wash the genital area. You can use just warm water to wash the genital area.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
