Hello,

As per my surgical experience, red itchy rash on the foreskin indicate balanitis through bacterial or fungal infection most likely. Salient features to be kept in mind for best possible recovery:
- cleansing of local area by retracting foreskin and antiseptic soap or liquid application
- Prescription of antibiotics, anti fungal and anti inflammatory medications by your doc
- Control of blood sugar
Surgery in terms of circumcision may be a need of time in many of the cases of balanitis with diabetes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
