is it herpes?

I have a single small red bump on the lower part of the shaft of my penis. Its been there a few days. I didnt think anything of it at first but yesterday and today squeezed it and a tiny bit of puss came out. Its a solid lump and causes no pain at all.

I've read a few things on the internet and i dont think its herpes, but im not sure. I've only had unprotected sex once and that was with a partner i know was clear of diseases, and it was more than a few months ago.

Any idea on what it could be? Could it just be a normal spot?

Im 17 and in good health. I havent had any problems before.

Cheers

Yes you can contract hsv1 genitally from oral sex even if the person performing it on you didn't have any active cold sores at the time.

It's been there a week. At this point the best thing to do is to see your provider for further evaluation.  Don't pop it again though.
