Weird red patch of penis head ?

I noticed a part of my penis head that is darker/redder than the rest. It seems as though it feels like the rest of my penis head. No blisters or scabs. Just a patch of penis head skin that looks darker/more red than the rest which is pink. Not sure what it could be.

I'm no doctor, but I just went through something very similar.  You have what sounds like balanitis.  It can be caused by any number of things, yeast, fungus, dermatitis, drug interaction, etc.
Get in to see your doctor and have it swabbed to determine what the problem is and properly diagnosed.  
It took me almost 2 months of false starts on treatments to figure out I had dermatitis.
