What Could Cause A Bump Near The Urethra Opening On Penis?

I have a small, painless bump near the urethra opening on my penis - I don t have any discharge, foul smell of STIs; and it definitely does not look like a Syphilis Chancre - The bump looks the same from last night, it has not grown in size or changed color - it looks like a red pimple -
