bottom line is - you have symptoms that need to be checked out by a medical professional. Be sexually responsible and go and be seen and get this looked at.
have you had your gardasil shots for hpv yet?

Just saw your post after I submitted my response. This does not sound at all like herpes, and there is no reason for you to think it is herpes since your last exposure was in April. Symptoms show within 2-21 days, and this does not apply to you since your last exposure was almost a year ago. Go on with your life, and please let this be a lesson to you for the future.
If you've had cold sores on your lips in the past then you aren't going to get HSV-1 genitally, so you won't get herpes from oral sex. However, not everyone gets cold sores (it's about 40% of people your age that get them), so it's important to discuss oral sex with future partners because your cold sores can be transmitted to a girl you perform oral sex on genitally if she doesn't have a history of cold sores.
It's unlikely this is herpes related. When was the last time you had vaginal sex with your ex girlfriend? Symptoms usually appear within 2-21 days.
For future reference, condoms only reduce the transmission of HSV-2 by 30-50%, so be sure to have yourself and your partner tested prior to engaging in sexual activity. Let this be a lesson to you and be sure to see your partner's test results on paper before engaging in sexual activity.
Bumps, skin thickening, and friction burns commonly occurs on the genitals since the skin on the genitals is not nearly as thick or as tough as the skin on the rest of your body.
Where exactly is the bump? If it's in on your shaft by hair then it's most likely folliculitis, which is basically a clogged hair follicle.

And the last time I ever did any of that stuff was last year april
But I've never had it on my penis before
Yes I have but I used protection and my ex girlfriend has given me oral sex like 2 times and I've had cold sores or like blisters on the in side of my lip before
The cold sore or fever blister on your lip is herpes (HSV-1), and the bump you describe on your shaft is not HSV-1 if you have a history of cold sores since HSV-1 in one location gives you immunity from catching HSV-1 in another location.
When was the last time you had sexual intercourse, if any? When was the last time you received oral sex?
Do you or your mom recall you having cold sores in the past or was the first?
