Brief Answer:
Topical anti inflammatory cream and oral anti allergic tablet
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.
I can see a dry, scaly patch of skin in the images which looks like eczema. I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, twice daily for a few days. These are prescription medications. You may also take an OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Regarding a dry red patch of skin on penis
Detailed Answer:
thank you.
The photo very clearly shows a small, dry, red patch of skin with overlying scale/peeling.
I actually feel that you need to put a moderately potent topical steroid cream that I suggested. The cream that you suggested is a moisturizer. It would help but I feel that you need to put a topical steroid cream.
Take care
