Brief Answer:
a small cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and picture.

I would like to know Since when is this spot observed by you ?
Are you married / sexually active ?
Have you tried to pop it as the center looks depressed / umbilicated ?
There looks to be redness in the center of the glans and at the frenulum area.

I think this is just a mildly infected cyst of the skin gland of the glans. This may be self healing.

Awaiting for your answers.
