Question : Hi, I have a lump on the tip of my foreskin, could you tell me what it is, and how I could treat it if it is bad?
I'll send a picture as an attachment
It doesn't hurt unless I deliberately try to hurt it
And I have no allergy that I know of

The photo shows a small cystic growth.

This should solve your problem for ever.
