What Causes Tiny, Red Bumps On Penis And Under The Shaft Of Penis?
I have red tiny bumbs on the head of my penis and one or two on the underside oder my shafts. Most looked like they have no fluid in them, and one or two of them kind of look like tiny zits. My wife was just diagnosed with gardenella something. Like a bacteria of some sort. I m just wondering what it could be and if her bacteria is the cause or is it something else completely.

Hi.
These bumps are common and are usually irritated/inflamed hair follicles due to friction or the accumulation of heat and moisture in the region. I would not worry about them because in majority of cases, they are self-limiting and subside on their own in a while. If they last for more than a week without showing signs of regression then visit a doctor for a swab test. Warm compress over the region 2-3 daily will also help.
Best wishes.
