Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
Avoid itching over this bump, as it can get infected.
You should get it examined by a qualified Urologist or even a Dermatologist.
If it's recent, it may subside with a course of antibiotic.
Maintain good penile hygiene, and avoid moisture over the area.
If you check your hemogram, blood sugar,VDRL,HbsAg,ad HIV,it would be helpful for the doctor, whom you meet.
If you want an expert opinion here, you may send a photo of this bump, you're describing, and write if you've had sex with several partners.
Of course, it won't be the same as a direct examination.
