Small bump on ridge (corona?) of glans

I noticed a small bump on my penis the other morning. Spent the night with an on-off male partner. No penetration I only received oral and there was some rubbing on their anus. Haven't had penetrative sex in almost 2 weeks, always use condoms for that but I don't always use condoms when receiving oral. I test every 3 months that im not in a committed relationship, to date i have never been diagnosed with any std/sti. Last testing was September of this year. The raised area I noticed the other day is painless, no broken skin or discharge of any kind. Just wondering if it looks familiar to anyone or if it's cause for concern.

    That doesn't look like an STI, but if you're due to be tested soon anyway, I'd bring the appointment forward if I were you.  It's probably nothing to worry about, but please let us know what the doctors say,

    Hey, I seem to have this same problem.  The bump is thick and shiny.   Please update.

    semi-update:

    I observed it for the past few weeks. It didn't seem to grow anymore, still no pain or leakage. The past few days I believe it has diminished in size. I went in for a clinic screening today and based on my sexual practices & presence of the bump it was recommended I get a blood-draw for Syphyllis. Once I receive those results I'll know more and give another update. If it's non-reactive but the bump is still there (& maybe even if it's gone because I'm paranoid) i'll very likely ask for more comprehensive tests.
