Brief Answer:
Not related to STD.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

There is a red area where the bump was. I don't think this can be related to STD or something else to get concerned about. Most probably it was an ingrown hair or a pimple. I don't think that you need to worry about it. The red part that has gotten more can be inflammation due to trauma of squeezing it. So as a conclusion you don't need to worry about STD because it doesn't seem related to it.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
