Balanitis?: Balanitis is inflammation of the penis head and under the foreskin. Often yeast or bacterial infection, or "nonspecific" due to suboptimal hygiene. You could try retracting the foreskin and washing with soap and water 2-3 times a day, or an anti-yeast cream, easily available in pharmacies. For sure see a doctor if these don't help. Nothing to be embarrassed about; all docs see this very often!
