What Does A Red Spot On Penis Indicate?

I have a smallish red spot on the right top edge of my penis head, as well as a blotchy red area on the dorsal side of the shaft, in the top area where I was circumcised. The spots/blotches are painless, do not itchy, and might be very slightly raised, but not very noticeably so. I currently am in a committed relationship and we do not use condoms, but neither of us have ever experienced any problems or concerns regarding STDs. I assume it is some kind of friction irritation, but am concerned it is something more serious.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Pain less spots can be STD like syphilis also. In such case dark field microscopy of swab from lesion helps to identify. A visual examination by a dermatovenerologist also helps. If it is that then antibiotics like doxycycline for 7 days will be helpful. If that is clear then ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole, anti bacterial like neomycin and corticosteroid like betamethasone will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
