I woke up today with a weird bump on penis. Can oil based lubes such as coconut oil produce acne on your genitals?
They can clog pores, yeah.
if you used that, then yes, it's extremely likely that a pore/hair follicle got clogged with the oil and your skin is just reacting to it. despite what people say, don't use coconut oil as a moisturizer/lube/whatever on the skin. it's non-comedogenic and can fuck up your skin. and stop using oil-based lubes. they break down condoms and can cause skin problems (stick to water or silicon).

This - it is likely folliculitis.
Hit the store and buy some anti-bacterial soap like Dial and start using it to wash your groin when you're bathing... do this now if possible. If you let it "fester" then it will spread rapidly and a lay person looking at your dick will think you have herpes.
If you have insurance you should see your doctor asap and get some anti-bacterial cream. If it is severe enough they will give you an antibiotic.

Indeed, you need water based lubricants.

This means the opposite of what you think it means.
Coconut oil can aggravate acne in some but not all people who are acne prone. For most folks it's just hella nourishing to skin.
