If you've never had sex or oral sex, it can't be an std.

Its probably an infected hair follicle. If it lingers, see your doctor, but it should be fine.

Thanks for the help, I was beginning to get worried. This should go away on its own after awhile shoulden't it?

I don't see any hairs actually coming out of the bump, or any that close to it. Do you still think its a hair follicle?

It could be. You've never had sex, so it can't be an std.
