red, sore dry, skin peeling on head of penis

Hi, for ther last month I'm had this red sore spot on the right side of my penis head. It's funny because the left side is perfectly fine but the right side has had this problem for the last month and it won't go away. I'm thinking it could be some type of fungus but I really have no clue. I thought I'd ask around here before I spend 80 dollars on a doctor visit. Is there anything I can get over the counter to help this? I've ben having Eczema problems lately but I don't think thats it.
