Bump on penis

First of all I want to say thanks for any and all replies that I may get and I understand that it's not possible to accurately diagnose a condition over the internet. But, here it goes. I'm 19 years and have not had oral or vaginal sex yet so I don't see how it could be an std. But, in the last week I developed 1 large purple/red/gray bump in the middle of the shaft of my penis. I tried to puncture it with a sterilized needle and got nothing. If I had to guess I'd say it's about 1mm in width and maybe 2mm tall(total guess.) It's only painful to the touch and even after reading practically every other thread on bumps/lesions/cysts/etc. I am still having a hard time trying to decide what I have here. Do I have reason to be worried and is there any home cures to get rid of it. Or, how long might I need to wait for it to go away on it's own possible. Sorry for the long posting, hopefully I've given accuracate enough information, thanks again.

You could have a blockage in one of your tubes.  It may be something serious--go to the doctor.

You need to need to go to your doctor.You haven't had sex or oral sex,most definitely it is not an std.It could be a boil,they sometimes pop up in the weirdest places.You still should see a doctor.There is something you could try first before you go to your doctor,it is a boil.Put hot water,in a bottle,(coke bottle etc...)Pour the hot water out then place on the bump on your penius,hold it there for 15 minutes,this will help draw the boil out,do this about three times a day.Today would be the day to try it.If it does not work make an appointment with your doctor.
