Applying Vaseline For Reddishness Around Penis For Years. Should I Be Worried?

I have been having reddishness around my penis for the past 2-3 years. My urologist has suggested applying Vaseline around it. I see the reddishness sometimes less but it has not gone completely. No other symptoms, no pain. Is this something I need not worry about.
