I have noticed a week ago , i have 1 red dot about 2 milimiters , very small on the tip of my penis , and then it dissapeared , then another week ago they started to appear , now there are 9 little red dots , small milimetric size , too , whats is it?

Nothing serious--just some blocked pores, in all likelihood.  (I can't think of anything else that would go away and come back.)  These don't mean anything, aren't contagious, etc.  Show them to a doctor, just so you can be sure.

Best.
