What Causes Red Spots On The Head Of The Penis?

i am a 36 year old male in fairly good health, 5.5 tall and about 70 kg in weight. Over the past week I have developed a few small dark red spots on the head of my penis. There is no pain they dont seem to be blistered and there is no itching. At first a couple appeared at the bottom of the head but they faded and a couple appeared closer to the top of the head. I had sex about 3 months ago with someone who was not my normal partner but practised safe sex. Do you have any suggestion as to what this might be.

Hi,
Your description does not suggest that it is anything serious. Painless non itchy red spots on the glans(head) of penis are fairly normal and can appear and go away from time to time.
I suggest if they do not disappear within a weeks time or so then you should consult a Skin Specialist(Dermatologist) who can examine you and advice the best course of action as to whether you should undergo tests for STDs or not.
Take care and relax.
