Brief Answer:
It could be due to infection of foreskin (Posthatitis)

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have infection of foreskin (Posthatitis )

you have not mentioned whether you are able to retract foreskin over glans or not

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

If you are unable to retract foreskin completely or it is painful you may need to get circumcised .

Consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination in person so as to take final call for need for surgery(Circumcision ) .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
