Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this lump and the troubling thoughts that this has caused you. From the description and the duration of this lump, it doesn't represent any real pathological finding. It is very much like a bump, pimple, etc that can appear any where else on the body. The only difference here is that it has appeared on a sensitive part. Please, refrain from manipulating it to avoid getting it infected. It should gradually get resolved without any particular medical attention over the 5-7 days.
From the above information, I can tell you are concerned about STDs. Please, prevention is the best way to tackle this. Always consider using protection during intercourse to prevent getting contaminated just in case you are exposed.
I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for using our services and please feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
