Q: The tip of my penis is red and raw.

Nothing else seems to be wrong. Meaning I have no other signs of anything else. Just a side note I have been sleeping with the same woman for 6 years and this is the first time I have seen this. It is a very small irritation but concerning none the less. It is not really painful although I do feel it mildly when I urinate, but just at the tip.

Redness at the tip of the penis in a monomagous person is most likely a local irritation. Possible causes can be from urine that irritated the tip of the penis if you were wet after voiding especially if you were to be uncircumcised. Local irritation from sexual activity is also another possibility.
