What Does A Small Red Spot On The Glans Penis Indicate?

I knoticed a small red spont on my penis head. There is just one spot about 1-2 mm in diameter and it is slightly raised. It would be red then slowly turn a lighter red as if it was healing but then come back. Some times dried skin will peel off of it. What could it be ?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely Fordyce spots. These are modified sebaceous prominences and are harmless. Taking more garlic and antioxidants in diet is good for this. You can take citrus fruits and greens for getting anti oxidants. Avoid greasy and sweaty environment on genital area as these can stimulate its occurrence. Applying aloe Vera gel is also good.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
