Hi,
If you had unprotected sex - need to rule out sexually transmitted infection. If not, it can be due to bacterial / fungal infection. Local application of antibiotics / anti-fungal can help you. Also, check your blood sugar. If not circumcised, you need to do it.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
