small, pimple like bump on shaft of penis...

Approximately 8 months ago, I had protected sex with a new partner.  During sex, I began feeling immense pain on the shaft of my penis.  I believe she had placed the condom on inside out and due to the lack of lubrication, the friction injured my foreskin.  The following day, the affected area was inflamed and red.  It has never really healed.  There are no open wounds, just reddish skin.  Well, a short time later, after having protected sex, the area was quite itchy and irritated.  The next morning, I woke up and found a very small white bump in the inflamed area.  I wiped the bump with my thumb and the white bump ruptured kinda like a zit.  I didn't see any fluid come out of the bump and there was no chancre left behind that I could see .  Well, the following day, the white bump had scabbed over and I noticed two other scabs in very close proximity to where the white bump was.  Within 5 days, all the scabs were gone, but the original injured area was still present.  I've kept a very close eye on the area and this morning I woke up to find a clear looking bump a couple of mm outside the injured area.  This bump looks different and I'm concerned it's herpes.  I researched herpes symptoms and I haven't experienced any of the symptoms described.  I asked that partner if she had any STDs and she was adamant that she had been tested and was clean.  It has been a few weeks since I've had protected sex.  I've also had a lot of stress in my life other than the stress of bumps on my penis.  Has anyone experienced anything like this?  I plan to do an STD test, but I'm freaking out.

I concur with Vance - whilst a 'bump' is sometimes the only way to describe what you are seeing, you really need to have it looked at by a professional.  We cannot view material such as this, and we also do not have the ability to diagnose.  We can only offer advise such as risk assessment and relevant information on STD's.  I suggest you visit a Doctor or a dermatologist for further clarification and they will advise whether you need testing and begin the daignosis process.

Bumps can be many things often not a STD, you would have to see a Dr.
