General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for your question.

Such symptoms point to an inflammation of the penile foreskin, a condition called balanitis. This condition commonly occurs in diabetics, however, other causes include exposure to chemical irritants and poor personal hygiene. A common complication of this condition is urinary obstruction, which you are currently experiencing.

In view of the urinary obstruction, I strongly advise you to go to the nearest emergency unit, a urologist, who is a surgeon who treats diseases of the urinary organs and male reproductive organs, would be called on to surgically remove the foreskin and eliminate the obstruction. You would also be given antibiotics to treat the infection.

I hope I have answered your question.

Warm regards.
