phimosis due to balanitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
I have gone through the photos.
It appears to be candidal balanitis going for phimosis. I would advice to clean area with warm water twice daily and apply candid lotion. Take analgesic like brufen. I would have started on oral antifungal like flucanazole 150 mg weekly once (if the diagnosis is confirmed).
Do not try to retract skin forcibly.
You need to undergo circumcision, a minor surgical procedure. You need to consult surgeon for this procedure at the earliest to get rid of this problem.
You can get back for any clarification else please close the discussion and rate.

Thank you Doctor,
As advised, i washed the area with warm water and applied Candid lotion. The area is healed now and infection seems to go away so the pain also.
