I have a tiny lump with a brown spot, and a red patch with small white dots on base of penis?

I'm a little worried about it, does anyone know what it could mean? I am only 14 and I haven'tt had sex yet. Basically, it's like i said in the title. Small lump, with a brown spot at the base. Underneath is a large red patch with some indents, and some small white lumps. Also the entire bottom area of the top part of the penis (I can't think of the right name, so I will risk offended a couple people and call it the mushroom) is all red. It feels like a rash or something, does anyone have any ideas to what it could be? I would just go to a doctor, but I'd have trouble explaining that I needed to get a physical for a possible rash on my penis. Any help is appreciated

you could have Eczema: most commonly affects other parts of the body, but occasionally it may first appear on the penis. In such cases, it may be a skin reaction to an irritant that is better be described as dermatitis. Eczema appears as diffuse red plaques with a poorly defined edge and finely scaled surface, red, possible white blister type things. It frequently causes quite severe irritation. It can be caused by infection or local reaction to skin injury from chemicals or radiation. There are a number of effective treatments available, such as steroid creams. It is not infectious.
