Red spots on penis: The most common cause of red spots on infants' penises and scrotum is some kind of yeast infection (much like a yeast diaper rash). One approach would be to try some over-the-counter yeast medicine (like Monistat or Clotrimazole cream); if that does not lead to improvement over 3-4 days, then see a doctor.

Yeast perhaps?: The diaper area, being generally warm and sometimes moist, is an area that can develop yeast infections of the skin, even in boys. Ringworm, caused by a different fungus, could also affect this area. Unfortunately, these aren't the only 2 things that could cause what you describe. You could try an anti-fungal cream and see if it helps. If he's really uncomfortable, i'd seek medical attention.
