What Causes Red Marks On The Tip Of The Penis?

Hi, i get red marks on the tip of my penis, ive had them for 12month now, they arent spots. My doctor told me to put like intensive care cream on. i do, the skin then goes dry.
The marks fade a little if i use cream on it. I think it maybe either ecsma or maybe psorioisis?

Hi Are the red spots itchy? But as I understand your question ,the spots may be due to Herpes Progenitalis.In Herpes small blisters similar to cold sores appear on glans penis .The problem recurs as there is no cure to the problem.For a typical healthy person this is harmless.
Hope this answers your query.
