Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,
Grainy red and sore small area on shaft of penis may be due to Chancroid, Syphilis, Herpes genitalis, Anogenital wart or it may be simply Scabies.
Do you have unprotected sex in the recent past?
Because Except Scabies all are sexually transmitted disease.
There is a feature to upload the image by yourself on the right side of this query page. You may utilize that. Alternatively, you can mail it to YYYY@YYYY with subject line as "Attention to Dr. Shahid Hassan".
Treatment of all the diseases are different, presentation is almost similar.
Hope this is helpful,
Thanks.
