Hi welcome to health care magic....

Don't start treatment by our own..

Here your lesion should be inspected and it seems to be fungal balanitis than mentioned treatment by you can be given....

Your skin is not retracting back towards shaft, so there might be phimosis due to balanitis...
In such case topical steroid can be prescribed....

If phimosis persist than circumcision operation needed in which foreskin removed and tight frenulum released

First consult dermatologist for examination and if needed than surgeon consultation might taken...

Take care...

Hope this will help
