Quick answer
Itching with new bumps on the penis needs an in-person examination at a sexual-health clinic, dermatologist, or doctor. It could be irritation, fungal infection, scabies, molluscum, genital warts, herpes, or another STI. The correct medicine depends on the cause, and using the wrong cream can worsen it.
Do not self-treat with steroid creams such as betamethasone, clobetasol, or mixed “antifungal + steroid + antibiotic” creams on the penis. Do not pop, cut, or scratch the bumps.
Until assessed:
- Avoid sex and skin-to-skin genital contact, or use condoms if sex cannot be avoided. Condoms reduce but do not eliminate risk from skin conditions.
- Wash gently with plain water, dry carefully, and avoid scented soap, antiseptics, powders, oils, and new lubricants.
- Wear loose cotton underwear and keep the area dry.
- Do not share towels or underwear.
- Tell recent sexual partners if an STI is diagnosed.
Get urgent care today if there are painful blisters or ulcers, pus, marked swelling, fever, trouble urinating, severe pain, or rapidly spreading rash.
A clinician may need to examine the bumps and offer STI testing. If the bumps appeared after unprotected sexual contact, testing should include HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia as appropriate.

Quick answer
It could be scabies, especially if the itching is much worse at night and there are itchy bumps on the penis, scrotum, wrists, finger webs, waist, or buttocks. But genital bumps can also be an STI, fungal infection, or irritation, so an in-person clinician should confirm it.
If a pharmacist or doctor confirms typical scabies, common first treatment is:
- Permethrin 5% cream
- Apply at night to clean, dry skin from the neck down, including between fingers/toes, under nails, groin, penis/scrotum, buttocks, and soles.
- Leave on 8 to 12 hours, then wash off.
- Repeat exactly 7 days later.
- In adults, apply to the genital skin but avoid getting cream inside the urethral opening.
Also important:
- Treat all household members and sexual/close skin contacts at the same time, even if they do not itch yet.
- Wash clothes, towels, and bedding used in the past 3 days in hot water and hot-dry them. Items that cannot be washed can be sealed in a bag for at least 3 days.
- Itching can continue for 2 to 4 weeks even after successful treatment. Do not keep reapplying scabies cream daily.
- A non-drowsy antihistamine such as cetirizine may help itching, but ask a pharmacist about suitability.
Do not use strong steroid creams, antibiotic creams, or random antifungal/steroid combination creams on the penis unless prescribed.
Seek medical care promptly if there are blisters, ulcers, discharge, pain while urinating, fever, pus, or the rash does not improve after both treatments. Those signs make an STI or another diagnosis more likely.

Quick answer
Scabies is a skin infestation caused by a tiny mite, not usually a bacterial or fungal infection. The mites spread through close skin contact, including sexual contact, and cause very itchy small bumps, often worse at night.
In men, scabies can affect the:
- Penis and scrotum
- Groin and buttocks
- Fingers and between fingers
- Wrists, waist, and thighs
However, bumps only on the penis may be something else, including an STI. A doctor or sexual-health clinic should examine it before assuming scabies.
If it is confirmed scabies, treatment is usually permethrin 5% cream, applied as described earlier, with close household and sexual contacts treated at the same time.

Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow into the outer skin. It causes an allergic reaction, leading to very itchy small bumps, often worse at night. It spreads mainly through prolonged close skin contact, including sexual contact.
It can affect the penis, scrotum, fingers, wrists, waist, buttocks, and thighs. But penile bumps can also be an STI, so a clinician should check him.

Quick answer
You cannot confirm this reliably just by looking, but these patterns help:
| Condition | Typical appearance | Main symptom | Usual distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scabies | Tiny itchy red bumps, sometimes thin wavy lines or “burrows” | Intense itch, often worse at night | Usually also between fingers, wrists, waist, buttocks, groin, scrotum and penis. Close contacts may itch too. |
| Genital herpes | Groups of small fluid-filled blisters that break into painful sores/ulcers | Pain, burning, tingling, sometimes painful urination | Penis, scrotum, anus, buttocks, or mouth. May cause fever or swollen groin glands in a first episode. |
| Genital warts (HPV) | Skin-colored or pink firm bumps, sometimes rough or cauliflower-like | Often no symptoms, sometimes mild itch | Penis, scrotum, pubic area, groin, or around anus. They do not usually become blisters or painful open sores. |
More likely scabies: severe night-time itch, bumps elsewhere on the body, or someone in the household/sexual partner is also itchy.
More likely herpes: painful blisters, raw ulcers, burning or tingling, discharge, pain when passing urine, or fever.
More likely warts: painless rough bumps that persist or slowly increase in number.
Do not use scabies medicine, wart remover, or steroid cream on penile bumps until examined. Avoid sex or use condoms until a sexual-health clinic or doctor checks it. Get same-day care if there are painful sores, fever, pus, marked swelling, or trouble urinating.
