Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
Seems you are suffering from Candidal Balanitis.
Treatment is simple:
I ask my patients to apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole for 7 days. If required i ask my patients to take an oral antifungal like fluconazole single dose.
It is preferable to get a blood sugar test for recurrent infections.
Sexual partner should also be treated if symptomatic.
Sexual contact is to be avoided for a week.
take care
regards
