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

It may be candida balanoposthitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would advise to take proper antifungal like Itraconazole. Apply antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Cleanse the prepuce and glans penis with diluted Dettol liquid. Improve hygiene and immunity and also the partner should take proper treatment.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
