Hello
Thanks for query.
Cracks and reddish foreskin is mostly suggests infection of Foreskin (Posthatitis).
Check your blood sugar levels to rule out diabetes as this is one of the first presenting symptom of Diabetes.
Take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin twice daily with topical anti fungal cream Candid cream for local application .
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
It should get cured within a week.
