Brief Answer:
Mild fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
See red spots on the penis head means that there is some sort of an inflammation taking place.
In other words, it can be a sign of an infection.
Now the most common infection leading to such presentation is a mild fungal infection of the penile region which is candidiasis.
You should keep the affected area clean and dry.
Clean it with lukewarm saline water twice a day.
Apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the affected area twice a day.
Do not apply any other cream or oils over the affected area.
Hope it helps
Please ask if you have any other query
