Brief Answer:
Balanoposthitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

This looks to be a problem called balanoposthitis.
I hope you have a single sex partner.
The effective treatment is as follows:
Clean the area with plain water 2 to 4 times a day and and keep it dry with a pure cotton cloth or a dryer.
you may apply liquid Povidone Iodine locally or a Metronidazole cream- nothing else at all. We have seen no results with any other solution, cream or ointment. So do not try anything else; if you are using any, please stop it.

A course of antibiotic with metronidazole orally for 5 to 7 days should help you to get a cure. You may please get a prescription from your local Doctor / Dermatologist.
Please get your Blood Sugar checked.
Get your partner also treated.

I hope this helps you.
Please feel free to ask for more if you need to.
