Bump on penis shaft

Hey, lately i've had this little bump which started out as a fordyce spot (or atleast that's what i think it is) and through out the past 3-4 days it has grown and over last night started to become more black/dark red on a bit of it. It's about 8 millimeters wide. I've tried doing some research yet i'm still not sure if it's a lymphocele lump or something else. I haven't had any sexual intercourse, only masturbation. Does someone know what this could be and if it's serious?

Things like this are really difficult to diagnosis with certainty without an in person exam, complete with medical history.  Since the bump is growing and changing pretty quickly, from the sounds of it- I'd have a doctor take a look to see what it could be and treat as needed.  Any time a bump or spot grows and changes in appearance it should be looked at.
