Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to balanitis. I recommend using Clotrimazole which is a very effective over-the-counter antifungal medication.
Apply it to the affected area two to three times daily for 10 days. Antibiotic pills may also be necessary. You should consult your doctor about this option of treatment and the prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
