Worried about a red bump on my penis' shaft being an STD

I recently noticed a red, painless bump on the shaft on my penis that looks as if it is resting on top of a vein. Seeing as I had a sexual encounter with someone on December 16th of 2017, I'm worried I may have picked up something as i only used protection for sex and not oral sex.

Here are links to the pictures of the bump [NSFW obviously]

If anyone could give me feedback as to what they think it is, I'd appreciate it.

It's not possible to access those pictures, but as you had a sexual intercourse (you didn't say which kind of it) I would go to test for :

-Syphilis, 6 weeks after the exposure, and if you get a negative, it would be ok to test again after 3 months, as there are people that take longer to show a positive result.
-Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, 3 weeks after the exposure.
-HIV, 28 days after the exposure if you go for a duo combo ag/ab test, and 90 days if you go for an antibody test.
-3 months after the exposure you can test for herpes.

All the best.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately it can be a little tricky for me to get tested as I'm in a pretty remote area and don't have access to a vehicle at the moment. Personally I don't really believe it's anything serious or an STD but my brain won't let me relax about it and I get kinda anxious/worked up about it.

The type of intercourse I had was giving anal (protected) and receiving oral (unprotected)

In terms of the actual pictures, here's an updated link to the pictures, hopefully you'll be able to see them:

With that kind of intercourse, you can forget about HIV and focus on the other ones, but even in that case, the possibilities of getting them are really small.

I cannot see the pictures, but I don't need it. It can be also because of the physical effect of the penetration.

As soon as you are able to do it, go to test for the other stds.

All the best.
