Brief Answer:
Seems like balanitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photos you attached and penis seems swollen and inflammed. I believe it can be balanitis since you are having itching too. It is not a sexually transmitted disease and is caused by candida albicans.
You may need to take antifungal ointment such clotrimazole ointment to apply topically.
Use it twice daily mainly at night after washing and drying it well.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
