Brief Answer:
A very mild inflammation of the penis head and tip is seen.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
From the photos,it appears as a mild inflammation over the penis head, called balanitis. The minimal change at the tip,is also similar.
This is because you keep the foreskin retracted during masturbation.
This will cause discoloration,which may change,over a period of time.
During masturbation,you can use a lubricant,like vaseline,which's very safe.
Maintain good penile hygiene and avoid moisture.
You can have sex,if you so desire.
There's really nothing to worry about.
Wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Avoid self treatment with anti-fungal ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Your penis is looking very healthy.
You can very well have a normal sexual life.
A condom isn't needed to have any protective effect,as you don't have an infection.
The minimal inflammation seen,can be treated with neosporin ointment at bedtime,for a fortnight.
You can get it from a licensed pharmacist or a doctor.
Do not use any anti-fungal ointment,as you don't have any fungal infection.
The spots can be laser treated,if you want.
You'll have to get it done by a cosmetologist or skin specialist.
Wish you well.
