A member asked:

What could a red bump on the vein of the penis be? never had sex

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: It could be a hair follicle, vein abnormality. Even though you are not sexual active/oral/vaginal some infections should still be entertained. Perhaps you could see your doctor for a better opinion. Good luck
