Hard bump/ lump on shaft of penis.

I noticed a har lump on my penis, right aroun the shaft, and Its under the skin. It's not bothersome, but it it is turning a bit red, since I've been touching it. I've had it for 3 days and it hast developed into a sore or anything. It's a bit bigger then a pimple, more like a zit, It doesn't hurt, but it does feel irritated when I touch it. It also feels hard like a lump. Could this be Herpes or Syphillis? I'm pretty freaked out. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

I had oral, protected anal, and penis to penis rubbing. I haven't had any rash or swollen lymphnodes. The lump is only painful when I touch it or lay on it.

Hello,

What you describe could be Herpes or Syphillis, and then again it could NOT be.   We can't say for sure.   Is there an exposure you want to share with us?
