HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be a wart. These can occur in both of the places mentioned and in most cases, there is no pain, though it is possible for them to be uncomfortable.
It does not sound like any of the other common sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, herpes, syphilis , HIV.
He should see his doctor to definitively determine the nature of the lesion and to initiate treatment.
I hope this helps
