I have these reddish bumps or spots on the base of my penis. they dont hurt or itch and are really tiny. I had thought at first they were genital warts, so i went to the local health clinic where the std nurse checked me out. She diagnosed that they werent warts and just to be sure, she also found they werent herpes. I asked her if she was sure like 3 times and she kept examining and she said she was sure. Then i guess just to be sure she got another nurse in to check me out..she examined my penis too and she said also that its not warts or herpes. so should i stop worrying? cuz the bumps are still there. o and i had went to the clinic 3days before posting this.

that's weird for a nurse to examine you as nurses do not diagnose
you should have a doctor look at them.
it is not normal to have bumps on your penis
go get an opinion from a doc
it could be an STD

there is a way to tell for sure if they are genital warts. you need white vinegar and a black light. put the vinegar on the spots and turn off the lights except the black light. if they glow, there you have it. they are warts. (this is how they check on women).
herpes is men is generally very mild and often looks just like a bump. there is no way to tell if it is or is not herpes unless the bump is oozing. otherwise, it may or may not be. if your sexual partner had sores or bumps around the labia, then it is possible that you could have contracted herpes. however, it can lay dormant for 15 years, so there is really no good way to tell. are you sure they are not ingrown hairs? that is possible.
basically, you can't do anything about this right now. i would wait to see if they went away. give it another six weeks or so and then go back if they are still there. don't worry yourself sick. even if it is herpes, there is treatment and warts can be removed.

Did she run a blood test for Herpes. They sure sound like they are Herpes. Are they weeping and itching and tingling?

If two people who specialize in STDs say you're OK, I'd believe it. But they didn't give you any idea what it might actually be?
I think you're good as far as what it isn't, but if it would put your mind at ease to find out what it actually is, then visit your primary care physician.
