Brief Answer:
It is infection of glans penis

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I have visualized the attached pictures and feel that it is not normal. The appearance of glans is clearly indicative of infection otherwise called as balanitis. There is need for local application of ointment containing antibacterial abntifubngal medications.

The medication can be purchased from any medical store. One such medicine is ointment ABC which is widely available and will be helpful for you.

In addition it is important to use precautions while having sex and abstain from sex for few weeks.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
