I don't know what this red/purple dime sized bump on the underside of my penile shaft if. it has become very painful over this past week.

Skin abscess?: This sounds like an infected cyst or abscess. Probably not an STD. It might require minor surgery for drainage, and maybe an antibiotic prescription. See a doctor ASAP, for sure within a day or two.
