my foreskin retracts fine when soft but gets stuck when erect is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments that could help

I've recently noticed a small red spot on the head of my penis and under the skin that covers it. I was just diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and have started treatment. Should I be worried about these spots? Could they be related to the infection, or is this something separate I should be concerned about?
