What Causes Small Red Bumps On The Head Of The Penis?
I have a couple small red bumps on the head of my penis I noticed about a week ago. I was nervous about it possibly being hpv so I used apple cider vinegar to see if they turned white, which the did not. Is that a fool proof method to show if they are warts?

Hello
Thanks for query.
You ave not mentioned about sexual history in your query.
The bumps on the glans penis are mostly due to infection of glans penis (Ballanitis).
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
