Red spots on head of my penis that rarely itch, don’t burn or hurt.

Red spots on head of my penis that rarely itch, don’t burn or hurt. Sticky, moist foreskin with couple of flaky skin spots. Red rush also on body and chest.
About two weeks ago, I noticed red dots on my chest that later spread to my shoulders, stomach, and back. Then 6 days ago I got sore throat. Finally 3 days ago I noticed red spots on head of my penis and moist, sticky foreskin. It rarely itches - mostly on my body, no pain both on my body and penis. Now, the red spots on penis started disappear and my foreskin is going back to normal. I still have red rush on my body.
I had unprotected sex, but I think my partner is clean.
This exact symptoms on my penis (no red rush on my body and no sore throat) happened around 11 months ago. At that time I was a virgin. They lasted for 3-5 days and went away with no cure.
What is this and how should I treat it?
*Pictures are from 2 days ago.

The spots on your torso look just like what I had. Guttate Psoriasis. It is caused by strep throat that is hard to detect. I got it after making out/having sex. My PCP missed it with a throat swab. Only months later, after my body was covered with red bumps/rashes, did a dermatologist at an ivy league hospital run a blood test specifically to detect strep. A low dose long-term treatment of antibiotics and 5-10 minutes of sunlight per day helped them go away.
I can't comment on the bumps on your penis. Those might be a STD.
You may be unlucky enough to have contracted both strep and a std.

I would also like to add that my strep and guttate psoriasis progressed as you described. First, I had a sore throat. It went away. Then, red, scaly spots appeared on my torso. They progressively spread across my upper body, including my back and arms. The bumps stopped below my neck and above my butt fortunately. There was no permanent damage to my skin. The spots became brown (like leopard spots) and eventually went away.

You have nothing to worry about telling your parents, these things happen to our bodies at your age and it's better to put your mind at rest rather than worry for ever and a day about nothing. A quick trip to the doctor might be embarrassing for you, but they've seen thousands of similar cases and they'll know what the problem is straight away. I went through this when I was 13 and worried needlessly as I eventually found out I had balanitis and fordyce spots... all that worrying was for nothing.

I must admit, having had the same on my glans in the past, this looks like balanitis to me. The glans can get really sore and inflamed and unfortunately it does tend to return (mine flares up occasionally, even after 35 years). If you were a virgin when this first appeared i'd 99% say this is what the problem is, an unfortunately common condition for us "uncut" guys.

Hi guys, I have few red spots on the head of my penis. It is not itchy as well and it does not burn or hurt. I haven't had sex in my entire life but I'm not sure why I have red spots. Maybe someone could help me thank you. File size is too big
