Small bumps on penis

I have small bumps on my penis which i have just noticed 5 days ago
I have had sex only once and it was about 2-3 months ago with protection though the condom did fall off for less than second when i went in and then i put it back on at one point of time
I am concerned that ti may be genital herpes but i am not sure
i have been driving my self crazy thinking about what it is
the bumps do seem to be getting better
One thing i am ashamed to add is that i masturbate quite a bit sometimes 3-5 times a day
i do not have a lot of the symptoms that they state
though i do have a head ache, which i think can be from thinking about this so much,
though there is an itch in pubic hair area above the shaft but it is on and off

It has been almost a month now but the bumps still remain i have had an std work up done and waiting for results now should receive in a bout a week
what are the chances of me getting an std if the condom had fallen off for only a second and i penetrated once
and through out the rest had wore condom from beginning to end

Hello,
Pimples like bumps on the penis can be a normal physiological change in teenagers or due to blocked hair follicle, oil glands, lympohocoel, sebaceous cyst, sexually transmitted diseases etc. Maintain good genital hygiene by cleaning with soap and water, don’t try to squeeze the pimple. Applying ice would reduce redness, pain or swelling. See a dermatologist if problem persists for more than 1-2 weeks.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
