Found a bump with a black center on it three days ago on the foreskin of my penis. tried popping it as if it's acne. i still removed it. what is it?

Probably acne: The description sounds like a blackhead (also called an open comedone). That means the clump of skin cells is open to the outside air. The air reacts with the tip of the clump of skin cells so it darkens. Comedones can naturally occur in places such as the scalp, the face, the upper back, the upper chest, plus in and around pubic hair areas. Skin acne includes comedones.
