What Causes A Red Pimple On The Penis Gland?
I recently have noticed a small red pimple -like bump on my penis glans. It is close to the opening of my penis. I tried to ignore it and wondered about maybe an irritation from boxer shorts fabric. A a week or so later, close to the bump area I noticed a small purple-ish colored line ,(1/8 inch or so) that kind of appears just under the skin surface. I am married and have not have sex for awhile now, so am very curious about what this could be. Suggestions?

Thanks for query.
Based on the information that you have provided it seems to be infection of glans Penis (Ballanitis).
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
It should get cured within a week.
