Balanitis: Likely you have balanitis of the penis. It is usually due to an irritant to the area or yeast. There are other cases too but these are the most likely. I would recommend miconazole or an over the counter yeast medication such as clotrimazoke can resolve your problem. Let me know if it doesn’t resolve it!
