Balanitis?: This sounds like nonspecific balanitis (the medical term for inflammation of the head of the penis). It's quite common in uncircumcised men. Some cases are due to yeast infection. Most cases clear with improved hygiene. Retract foreskin and wash w/ soap and water 2-3 times daily. See your doctor if that doesn't clear it up within a few days.
