Water is the ONLY thing you ever apply to the sensitive head / glans of the penis. When you squeeze the penis you will see bumps as they are naturally present, you cannot 'cure' something that is there anyway. Most of us do not notice the bumps, it is when they become irritated that they become obvious. So they will be there whether you get circumcised or not - only with circumcision, this will add issues that you currently do not have, such as the loss of natural lubricant to the skin on the head of your penis which will eventually cause chronic dryness.
If you actually have an infection it is best to get that sorted, and if you treat the skin of your penis correctly the red spots will eventually fade, but this will take months of ensuring nothing is applied to it and you purely use water to wash, then use a clean towel to completely dry the skin of the head and foreskin of your penis.
If you have a candida based infection are you currently sexually active? Were you having penetrative vaginal sex without condoms immediately prior to these red spots showing up ....... ?

Circumcision in not the answer. What you need to do is to return the skin on the head and foreskin of your penis to its natural state.
What you need to ask yourself is why Doctors want to circumcise you - the main question being, for whose benefit would that be? From a financial perspective it is the medical, and in particular, surgeons who perform circumcision that are the beneficiaries, not you, and certainly not for the skin on the head of your penis
You say you have tried a lot of topical treatments - what your penile skin requires is to be rid of the impact of these treatments, that means excluding everything from contacting the head and inner-foreskin of your penis. Change, and a return to a natural state can take months - you need to be vigilant and exclude any chemical from your penile skin for 3, 4 or 5 moths or more before you begin to see any real change .....
You certainly have the rest of your life to regret getting circumcised .....

i know right,circumcision should be the very last resort.i currently started applying 100% natural coconut oil,it keeps my penis head soft...is it okay to use it?

but i dont think doctors say i need to get circumcised because of financial perspective because my country has free healthcare and circumcision surgery is free.however i should try not to use any topical creams anymore because i think i was using Isoconazole when i noticed that the red spots started to come more obvious and multiplying

What is not commonly recognised is that things like coconut oil and SHEA butter have natural skin healing properties - as long as you do not over-apply anything like this they are good for the skin.

The basic Sociological perspectives on ANY healthcare system is that it only exist if there are sufficient customers, irrespective of where the payment is derived from.
Empty hospitals are 'not good for business' - surgeons need to perform operations, drug companies need to sustain income, equipment manufacturers need to stay in business. One thing feeds on another, highly paid medical professionals need to earn a salary, this can only exist with customers .....
Your penis skin will only recover when it is returned to its natural state - if you think of it this way: the majority of us when we are born have pretty much perfect skin - it is only what the skin experiences from birth onwards that makes it look unhealthy or not the way it used to look.
Sexual contact and things like fungal / yeast infections do not help the skin, but for the vast majority of males the biggest problem is our detergent based body cleansers such as soap and shower gel - get rid of all this stuff, stop applying other unhelpful chemicals and eventually after months the skin will recover. This takes months of persistence with 'the good stuff', 5 to 7 months is certainly not an unusual recovery period, or possibly longer .....

Sorry for delay in getting back to you, I missed the email reminder for that.
I have only ever tried coconut oil, the natural healing properties of both could well be similar. With coconut oil, you only need a very light coating, rather than saturate the skin.
If the issue does resolve my suggestion would be to stop applying anything at all to the penis for as long as you can - to get benefit this means 3 months at least, but could take much longer than this.
Here is one of my guides of the broader issues you need to be aware of:
.
Penile Hygiene Regime to Combat Specific Problems
.
The best approach is not to use ANY SOAP on the Glans / Head of your penis - wash with water only EVERY time you have urinated, after sexual arousal, and ejaculation. If you are not circumcised, protect the Glans of your penis every time you take a shower by drawing the foreskin as far forward as you can, then wash everywhere else, thoroughly rinse off all the gels / shampoo and suchlike, then expose your glans wash it with the water only using the inside of your hand, then each time you have washed it you must make sure to 100% pat dry immediately afterwards with a clean towel that only you use.
.
After you have put this in place and you still have the situation going on you need to look at what else your penis is coming into contact with on a fairly regular basis. The likely suspects are:-

This is true when you say the lumps are there and only really noticible when irritated. Masturbating too much can cause this issue. i should know

Looks very similar to what I've had for more than a year now. Are you experiencing any other symptoms? Any burning, stinging while urinating or ejaculating?
