I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?
