Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

This may be due to some infection or irritation or allergy or inflammation of that glans penis area. Commonest infection is yeast infection. Depending upon your sexual activities it may either be due STD or non STD causes.
If you present your problem to a physician, he/she will examine you and do investigations if necessary and will treat you accordingly. Get well soon.
