Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It is likely that you would have got an yeast infection of your glans penis and foreskin. If you consult your physician he/she will give appropriate topical creams and oral tablets which can clear your symptom within a weeks time. Your wife also has to be examined and she also has to take treatment simultaneously.
The treatment should be continued for at least 3 weeks. During this period of treatment sexual abstinence is preferable.
Get well soon.
