What's this bump on my penis shaft?

2025-11-05 17:48:48
I felt some itching on my penis shaft on Monday and noticed a small red bump on Tuesday. There is no itching now and it's kind of numb to touch. Initially I thought it was a pimple but it doesn't really look like one (attached images). There is a single bump only and everything else is fine (including glans). I googled about it and now I am really concerned that it could be herpes. I have never had any kind of sexual intercourse or genital to genital/oral contact. I do have a single lifetime exposure in Feb 2024, but there was only brief 4-5s hand to genital contact at a massage parlour (I was completely naked, she had her panties on). Is this enough for herpes transmission?

Detailed history and clear images are required for correct diagnosis and treatment. Don't panic based on Google search. It is not herpes.
