Hello,
You are suffering from painful boils on the penis that is foul smelling. You should take care of your hygiene, clean the smegma daily, left unclean it will produce foul smell. Wear loose fitting soft cotton clothes, do not touch, pop or scratch. Avoid any kind of sexual activity for a couple of days. Your symptoms may be indicative of herpes that is a sexually transmitted disease. It presents with painful blisters or ulcers over the skin and can be painful or at least very sensitive to touch.
It is treated with anti-viral tablets although it can recur. Get clinically examined by a Urologist, get treated at the earliest. Other medical condition that can cause similar symptoms are chancroid, it also causes pain on the penis along with enlarged and tender lymph nodes in the groin region. Chancroid is an infection that is usually caught via sexual contact. This can be treated with antibiotics. If sexually active, both your partner & you should get clinically examined, get STD tests done. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
