Hello
I share your concern
if you don't have any recent history of unprotected sex than you need not to worry, just relax
It might be related to inflammation of the foreskin or glans which can be caused even by accumulation of smegma underneath the foreskin.

So I would advise you to keep it clean by pulling foreskin back and washing it with anti septic solutions

You should avoid sex or use condom until it heals completely
maintain good hygiene and have plenty of fluids
Thanks for your question please feel free to ask for follow up
