Brief Answer:
It is due to infection following oral sex .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that the red bump that you have on coronal sulcus of penis is due to infection after having oral sex .

Ural cavity contains plenty of bacterial flora hence there are more chances of one getting infected lesions on genitals following oral sex.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
