No, most bumps on the penis are not caused by herpes. Bumps on the penis could also be normal skin (e.g. Fordyce spots, pearly penile papules), genital warts, ingrown hairs, bumps from contact dermatitis, and a host of other causes. If you have a new bump on your penis, get it checked out.

What is wrong if you have painful bumps or blisters on your tongue throat and inside your nose?
It sounds as though it may be a type of Herpes. You should see a doctor. Not all forms of Herpes are sexually transmitted.
What does it mean when you have had bumps all over your penis for over a year and wont go away?
If you are going through puberty, these new bumps may be fordyce spots, a normal part of the penis. If not, see your health care provider or family planning center for accurate diagnosis.
Is it a bad thing if you have numerous tiny bumps on your penis head that are painless and barely noticeable?
No, not at all. In fact, those are absolutely normal and if you did not have them on your glans penis, you wouldn't be human! lol ;-)
I was wondering if it is normal to have small bumps under the skin on your penis?
Yes, I believe what you're talking about are pearly penile papules. These small, harmless bumps form on the corona (the purple ring around the penis, see attached image) of the penis. Though these bumps are sometimes confused for HPV by inexperienced doctors, they're quite normal, occurring in 1/3 of all males. If you are still unsure about this please seek medical advice from your Doctor. If you are having unprotected sex then there may be the chance you have an infection.
You are a thirteen year old boy and you have white bumps on the bottom of your penis is this normal?
Answer:The first thing to understand that it is quite normal for some men to have small whitish bumps on the shaft of the penis and/or at the base of the penis head."Fordyce's spots" are the small, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis. They are common in men of all ages and a normal anatomical variation, meaning they are not a disease and perfectly harmless."Sebaceous prominences" are another variation of small pale or white spots that may appear on the shaft of the penis. They are caused by the hair follicle being close to the surface of the skin. Again, these are perfectly normal and harmless."Hirsuties papillaris genitalis" is another harmless anatomical variation with no malignant potential, this time appearing as small whitish bumps at the underside of the base of the penis head. They tend to be more common in uncircumcised men. Again, there is no need for treatment as there is nothing wrong if you have these bumps.However, it is important to keep in mind that various STD's can cause changes to the appearance of your penis. In these cases, or if you are at all worried about something unfamiliar on your penis, it is best to go to a doctor and have it checked out. Just don't freak out at the first sign of a something on your penis, which may in fact be perfectly natural.

Mole like bumps on scrotum?
Many people have described the skin of a scrotum as being like "chicken skin." If you have seen a plucked chicken, before it is cooked, you'll get the general idea. Essentially small, raised spots scattered all over the surface of the scrotum (and sometimes the shaft of the penis too) from some of which hairs may have sprouted.

What are fever blisters caused from?
A fever does not cause fever blisters, just like a cold doesn't cause cold sores (they are the same thing) but if infected with the Herpes Simplex I virus, a person's immune system is compromised and the virus can come out of its dormant stage. Too much sun, stress, certain foods, suppressed immune system are a few of the predisposing factors that can bring the Herpes Simplex Virus I out of its dormant stage. Remember once you have the virus, you will always have it. There is no cure.
What is the rash when its red skin with small white bumps in?
A red penis rash with bumps can be the sign of dermatitis, psoriasis, allergies, or balantis, a condition where uncircumcised men experience foreskin swelling. A red rash can be healed by supplying the penis with essential vitamins, such as Vitamin A, C, D, and E and Shea Butter, all natural healers and moisturizers. Using a topical penis cream can help to alleviate your penis rash (many experts tout Man 1 Man Oil). Good luck!
What is the difference between Herpes and HIV?
The two names, "oral herpes" and "genital herpes" are actually referring to two different strains of the herpes virus, HSV-1 and HSV-2 correspondently. While both of them are extremely similar in what symptoms they present and how they progress, HSV-1, or "oral herpes", has a preference towards the mouth area and HSV-2 or "genital herpes" has a preference towards the genital area.Other than that, the only difference is that usually the HSV-2 or "genital herpes" is more aggressive and cause both more and worse outbreaks than the former type.Another piece of fun fact is that having one strain of the virus usually gives you an increased protection from getting the other type.
