painful to the touch, red bump at base of shaft of penis

[Mark770]

Hello,
Im a 21 year old male. I had unprotected sex with a girl in early March. She "claims" to be clean and has had no history of any STD's. It is now late July, and last night I noticed a small red bump on the base of the shaft of my penis. It does not hurt when left alone, however, when I touch it, it does hurt. I have been putting rubbing alcohol on it regularly. It is just this one bump by itself. Could this be a pimple? or can it be something i should be worried about? I normally shave my pubic region with a razor and shaving cream. The bump almost feels like a pimple that is still under the skin. Im very scared, as i now have a girlfriend with whom ive been having unprotected sex with regularly. She has no symptoms similar to the one that i have described.
Any response is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

well I don't think your penis is about to fall off, anything other than that I really don't consider serious :)

An appointment has been scheduled....but from what i have described, do you think it is something serious?

A lack of symptoms is meaningless when it comes to most std's. Have the two of you ever had a full std screening done? If not, now's the time to do so while it's on your mind.

This needs to be looked at and properly evaluated by a medical professional to find out what is going on.
