What Could The Bump On Penis Shaft Be?

Hi, Three days ago I found a single lump/bump on the shaft of my penis. It seemed like it appear all of a sudden. It was red and shaped a bit like a volcano, 2-3 mm diameter, with what seemed to be a hole in the middle. I was concerned it might be a wart as my partner has had warts before. However, it did not look wart like (i.e. cauliflower shaped, or similar to pictures online). Regardless I bought some Warticon and used it three times so far. The cone of the bump dissappeared right away, and it now looks more irregular shaped like a wart - but not neccesaily cauliflower (i.e. I don t have a magnifying glass). I am traveling and unable to go to a doctor. What could it be? Should I be using warticon? R

Hi.
Very elucidate history.
The appearance as per your description indicate that this may be wart or molluscum contagiosum.
Either of it, both are well treated with warticon. continue applying it.
Do not fondle with such lumps as they may then spread very fast to other parts.
Take care.
