Without seeing the lesion, it would be difficult to say what it is. Possible causes includes Peyronnie’s disease, Kaposi's Sarcoma and Mondor’s disease.
A curving penis during erection is typical for Peyronnie’s. This is caused by a hard plaque that forms on the penis. Kaposi's sarcoma is a soft tissue tumor associated with immunocompromised patients. This disease typically causes tumors to develop in the tissues below the skin surface, or in the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or anus. These lesions (abnormal tissue areas) appear as raised blotches or nodules that may be purple, brown, or red in color. Mondor’s disease is thrombophlebitis of the penis. It is usually due to over vigorous maturbation and is very painful. Conservative therapy (i.e. warm compresses, abstinence and aspirin like products) can help.
You may want to consider an evaluation by a urologist or dermatologist for further evaluation.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
