What could this be?

Yesterday afternoon while showering I noticed one red bump the size of a pencil tip on the foreskin of my circumcised penis. Before showering, I had masturbated, and I had also accidentally spilled 70% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol on my penis. I figured what ever it was would go away. A day and a half later it hasn

It sounds a lot more like a clogged pore than a wart.  The alcohol may well ave irritated it.  Just leave it alone (no squeezing), apply bacitracin daily, and give it a week or two.  If it's still there, show a doctor.  But warts and STD's don't seem likely, based on your description and the rapidity of onset.

Take care.

I have started the bacitracin ointment treatment yesterday, but the bump still is about the same. I'm still unsure of the bump is flesh colored or red... it seems to be red but it may have a whitish head or dome. Again, painless and not itchy. I've doen some research on the net and they say that HSV can start out as a single bump, yet mine is not "califlower" like. It's more like a perfect circle. I'm starting to get VERY VERY worried now. Is it possible for a single bump to be HSV? Normally if i've had something like this it's gone away by now. This is starting to depress me and I can not see a doctor for atleast a week. Again, I have been totally safe (used condoms) so this baffles me and leads me to believe it can't be a wart or another STD... but, you never know. Please help.
