Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed infection of Foreskin (Posthatitis) due to allergic reaction to acidic secretions of vagina .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine and 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
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
