Can anyone tell me what this is? I've had this small bump on my penis for 3 weeks. It doesn't hurt at all, it just looks weird. I tried popping it but nothing came out and its just on the upper skin layer. I've been tested for STI's recently and clean bill of health as far as they are concerned. Let me know your thoughts, thank you all!

should i just let it heal itself? ive been using tea tree oil on it. so far no change in size, color or anything. no pain in the area or any other symptoms.

ye id just leave it it will either open up and drain pus like a spot would or it will stay there could be a small cyst /skin growth if it dosnt go away in which case if its still there unchanged in the next few weeks u can either leave it or visit a doctors most doctors dont do anything about that unless they are overly big /growing in size or causing pain small like that that dont change over time are usually left unless u pay to have it removed
