red spots on head of penis

For the past 3 weeks, I have had some red spots on the head of my penis.  Not very big but about 4 of them.  They do not itch or burn.  I have tried neosporim (sp), hydrocordson (sp) and anti-fungul cream.  They do not get better or worse.  Any ideas of how to treat them.  I am too embarrased to go to doctor.   I know it is not STD.

I failed to mention I am uncircumsized.  I am 62, married, no sex.  The red spots are a little larger today so I am going to stop the anti-fungus cream and try hydrocortisone cream again.  The largest spot is shiny and smooth.  When I press on the spot it turns lighter and then red again.  Any over the counter creams I should try?  Anyway to email pictures to you?  Thanks.

Thanks for your response.  The red spots are small with one a little larger.  Flat/smooth and has a shiny top.  Nothing coming out of them.  I tried Neosporin, Hydrocorisone (sp) and anti-fungal cream.  The spots were all in a row from the bottom of my head to the top getting smaller toward the top.  Now they are more spread out.  They don't itch or burn.  No pain.  No lumps.  I am 62 and married (no sex).  Not cheating so no STD or anything like that.  Anything I can try?    Thanks

Hi,

This may be petechiae caused by minute bleeding points. This may be due to pressures as experienced during sexual interecourse.
Hope this helped. Let us know if you may need more help.
