Bump on Penis

Ok, so I'm 16 years old... I know I don't actually have an STD because I haven't been really sexually active in a way that could give me a disease... as well it started during a time in which I had no sexual activity...

Anyway, I have a small bump on the the bottom right side of my penis right about my hair and to the left of a vein...  It is not actually on my penis and is in the skin (I can pick it up with the skin).  It is entirely painless and not really noticeable except to the touch.  It's been there for maybe 3 or 4 weeks... it's almost cyst-like.  Any suggestions on what it is or ways to get rid of it?

it could be mulluscum which is common in childen but anyone can get it easily. It is caused by bacteria and is not necessarily sexually transmitted. It is very contageous and spreads through touch or even using a towel that someone who has it has used. mulluscum is basically dirt that causes all red, painless sores that go away any return within weeks. be sure to clean your genitals very well and all over. it may just go away by its self
