It's normal, I've had that too. Make sure you are keeping that area clean and you should be fine. If it starts to hurt a lot or doesn't go away or gets bigger than you should consider telling someone, but honestly I don't think its anything to worry about.

If you aren't sexually active (I would guess you aren't) then its more than likely some kind of insect bite.
Other possibilities off the top of my head would be heat rash or some kind of allergic reaction.
Allergic reaction is possible if you just noticed it today, they don't last long. Try to figure out if you've had anything unusual in contact with the area.
Heat rash is a probable result of less than ideal hygene. Likely a mixture of abrasion and possibly a clogged pore getting infected.
If it stays the same for more than a few days, or gets worse, you need to tell someone about it besides the internet.

try using an antibiotic to help the bump. it shouldn't be anything severe. maybe it is razor burn if you shave down there? if it gets worse, or doesn't get any better within a few weeks, call a doctor, get some insight from them.

what i would do is contact your family doctor somehow and ask him/her what it could be.
obviously you cant drive to the hospital to get it checked out, but maybe have a close family friend or an older sibling drive you. :
i dunno what else to say about it cuz im not a boy. ^.^
good luck.
