Hello
Thanks for query ,Based on your statement I would say that your brother has developed infection of the glans penis (Ballanitis).
He needs to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure he washes his genitals with warm water twice daily.
I think this will work for him .
