Tiny raised bump on penis

Hi all

I was examining myself today and I noticed this tiny raised bump on my penis shaft. When left alone, you couldn't even tell that it's there. When I stretch the skin, and put it by hard light, I can clearly see it.

There is only one spot. Earlier last week I experienced what I think was friction burn immediately after a sexual encounter. Just sore from the rubbing against clothes, etc. I don't think this is related to that, as this area with the dot was not affected. There is only one of them. I don't have any other dots anywhere else on my groin, penis, or scrotum.

I'm very worried its herpes. But there is no pain here, no other symptoms other than the visible spot.

Any thoughts on what this could be?

Here's another photo under harsher light with the skin stretched tight. Again, no pain / itching. The friction burn from the encounter subsided in less than a day.

      It does not looks like a ulcer from herpes.

      Mostly those ulcers are fluid filled in the beginning and then they burst and form a white sore.

      It may be a normal skin variation

      If overtly anxious, consult a dermatologist.
