Child Has Discoloration On Tip Of Penis. Advice?

My 4yo son has a small red/brown discoloration on the tip of his penis . He noticed in in the bath tub. I do not know how long it has been there since he is toilet trained and since he wears pull-ups to bed, I do not change diapers anymore. (He has also had deceased appetite and constipation both of which I attributed to a cold he has had for months.)

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
If they are freckle like lesions then they must be congenital and there is no reason to worry.
If they are changing colour or increasing in size then consult a dermatologist.
Constipation is usually reduced with increased intake of fluids,fruits and fibre.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
