Red bump on penis - Help!

Hello everyone,

This is my first time to the forums. I found them very useful in the past for helping me diagnose and discover issues that are wrong with me, and I was hoping for some help with the current problem. About three weeks ago, I noticed a red dot on my penis after sex with my girlfriend. I monitor it closely and it looked like a small pearly bump with a slight indentation in the center. At first, I began browsing online and thought it may have been molluscum, but I have no idea where this would have come from as my girlfriend has not got this and she is a long time partner. It also wasn’t as raised as the pictures of Molloscum. I began using Teatree oil on it and applying alcohol. Shortly after doing that, the center turned a brown color about the size of a pinhead, and eventually it turned to this as it appears in the pictures. What does this look like to you? Right now to me, it feels like a small lump under the skin, and it’s pretty hard to see unless it’s in the right lighting. Any guidance would be great.

thanks so much!

So yes, this would be the shape and size or Molluscum contagiosum but the appearance is wrong and you would get multiples of them.
With what you describe it is possible this is a small penile cyst, or more simply, it is one of those imperfections that appear from time to time that will also fade in its own time - this will most likely be months rather than a matter of a few more weeks …
