Not unusual to get red patches like you describe.
One of the most common red patches on the head of the penis is Psoriasis.
Do you have any scalp issues , ie. scaling, ear irritation, nail changes etc. which could suggest Psoriasis?

Peels: This may be a non infectious rash. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Any appropriate testing will be done.
