Hello dear
I understand your concern

Balanitis (inflammation of the penis):
It caused by poor hygiene, especially insufficient washing under the foreskin area, thrush, psoriasis, skin sensitivity or allergy to a product used on the penis (such as soap or lubrication), overuse - as in too frequent, too long or too rough sexual activity.
Take following advice:
Use simple, unperfumed soap
Apply aqueous based ointment that contain aloe vera, butter shea and vitamin.
Put two handfuls of salt in the bath, but no other additives
Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry
Apply anti fungal clotrimazole cream
Tablet terfinadine for 3-5 week
Consult the dermatologist and take proper prescribed medicine.
Hope this may help you
