Hello
Painful bump on shaft of the penis could be due to Staphylococcal infection of a hair follicle (Boil) in a stage of induration .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .
Normally it gets resolved with this treatment
If it does not subside you will need to consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical assessment .It may need to be incised and drained .
