Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

the condition which yo are suffering form is called balanoposthitis where there is inflammation and infection of both glans penis and foreskin, it is very common condition in men who are not circumcised, the main cause is that semen and sebum accumulates between the glans penis and foreskin making it moist which is the ideal environment for bacteria and fungus to grow causing inflammation.I would recommend you to have good hygiene of this area, and use good amount of lubrication for masturbation or sexual intercourse as you should keep minimal friction damage to this area. Moreover apply topical anti-fungal mixed with topical steroids twice a day for 5 days and it will heal.

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