Hello,

It is called phimosis. It could be physiologic in most cases due to tight skin. But if you are having a rash and oozing it could be due to skin psoriasis, infection or some allergic reactions. I suggest you to visit your doctor to see whats wrong with it and fix it accordingly. If you are having difficulty in urinating its an emergency situation, go directly to emergency department of a nearby hospital.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
